I have been a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) for 34 years, and a member of the IBEW and United Workers Federal Credit Union for just as many.
If you are new to the credit union, welcome. If you are not new, but have noticed changes, you are correct.
“This is not your father’s credit union” as they used to say, although some of you may actually be able to say that with some accuracy.
This credit union was developed by the union trades seeking a method to invest our union wages into a union-run, union-managed financial institution that we could all trust to invest our money, secure a loan, and earn a few dollars in benefits, savings, and pride in our industry.
