Many long-standing members facing retirement from the workforce want the opportunity to keep in touch with what is happening in the USU and in the union movement. This service is now available through the Retired Members Club.
Your contribution to the Union has been vital to the success of the union and its fight for workers and families. Your continued support is very important to us and the General Secretary invites you to continue your participation with the Union through the Retired Members Club.
The Retired Members Club offers you many of the services available to USU members and enables the Union to have the benefits of your experience.
