OPEIU New Account-Based Benefit Coming Soon!
Register Here
The OPEIU Benefit Fund has established a brand new account-based benefit called the Account Choice Plan, rolling out January 2024. The benefit will be a combination of three different benefits: Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA) and a Vacation account. Realizing no two persons are alike, the Account Choice Plan offers you the flexibility to utilize the three different accounts in a way that best meets your and your family’s needs.
If you become eligible to participate in the new Account Choice Plan, the Fund will set up and maintain the accounts on your behalf. The level of contributions to be made into the accounts will be set through each collective bargaining agreement or participation agreement, allowing flexibility to bargaining parties and employers to contribute more or less depending on the needs and wishes of the members of those units. Participants will have an opportunity twice…

This is the story of how workers win
It has been a monumental month for American labor.
UAW ratified powerful new contracts with each of America’s Big Three automakers: Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
SAG-AFTRA reached an industry-defining tentative agreement with the television and film industry studios.
The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 (UNITE HERE) reached its best tentative agreements ever with three Las Vegas titans: Caesars, MGM and Wynn.
And just last week, the Detroit Casino Council reached a terrific tentative agreement for thousands of casino workers in Michigan.
This is all incredible news with deals that will provide life-changing gains for America’s workers. And it was made possible by the unwavering strength of union members standing united for a better future, with all of our union family and people across the country standing in solidarity with them.
This moment is even bigger than these huge victories. This is about a labor movement. We’ve seen more than 300 strikes so far this year, involving more than 450,000 workers. Every industry. Every state.

Veterans play an integral role at every level of the labor movement and we are proud to honor them this Veterans Day.
In solidarity,

AFTER MEMBER POLL, OFFICE AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES OFFICIALLY BACK BIDEN
NEW YORK (PAI)—After “a union-wide survey of its members” which showed overwhelming support for re-electing Democratic President Joe Biden, the Office and Professional Employees board made it official on November 3.
The decision is separate from the AFL-CIO-wide endorsement of the Biden-Harris ticket in a large convocation in Philadelphia earlier this year. That decision included OPEIU, but this one means the union can marshal its people next year for their re-election.
Biden garnered the largest vote share among OPEIU’s 100,000 members and a large majority on the union board, outpolling all other potential presidential hopefuls combined. The decision is also based on his staunch pro-worker and public pro-union record over his three years in the Oval Office, said union President Richard Lanigan.
