If you want to protect your car
from theft, there are some simple things you can
do. In Florida, for example, almost 25% of stolen
vehicles had the keys in them! So always take your
keys. Also, over 50% of auto thefts occur at
night, so park in well-lighted areas. And hide
your packages: many auto burglaries are quick,
dirty "smash and grab" jobs where the
thieves grab only what they can see. Read
more anti-theft tips. |

You could save hundreds on your auto insurance with Union Plus
Auto Insurance from AIG, available to union members and their
families. Call 1-800-294-9496 for your free quote, or learn
more online.
Union Plus AIG Auto Insurance policyholders can also get money
back for taking a DMV-certified driver safety course. Jerry and
Melissa Stump, an Ironworker family from Elkhart, IN, enrolled
their daughter Andrea. Says Melissa:
 "We
saved over $400 when we switched to Union Plus Auto Insurance from
AIG, and then we got $250 back for Andrea's safety course. The
savings is great, the coverage is great, and so is the peace of
mind of knowing our daughter is a safer driver."
Find out what safety courses are eligible here.
*Average annual dollar savings are based on
all new Union Plus Auto Insurance policyholders who reported their
prior carriers' premium when they switched to Union Plus Auto
Insurance from AIG from 7/15/05 - 7/15/06. This figure has been
rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Of the new policies issued
during this timeframe, 86.7% realized savings.

1. Home buying made easy for
union members
Whether you are buying a home for the first time or
looking to refinance, the Union
Plus Mortgage Program is here to help.
For Michael Woods, IUEC Local 1, and his family, buying
their first home with the Union Plus Mortgage Program was
not only affordable but gave the family peace of mind.
"For us, we were really sold on the layoff, lock-out
and strike benefits that the program offers,"
Michael, an Otis elevator mechanic who was on strike for
three months in 1993, says. "It was a benefit we
didn't want to do without. It put us at ease knowing that
we would have that benefit."
And the unique Mortgage Assistance Program, which
provides interest free loans to help make mortgage
payments during hardships, came through for the Woods'
twice; once during a layoff in 2004 and again during a
strike last year.
"Without this program, who knows what could have
happened, our home could have gone to foreclosure,"
explains Woods. He adds, "It saved us a lot of
anguish and it could not have been more convenient and
easy to use."
With the Union Plus Mortgage Program you enjoy:
- Easy application process
- Experienced mortgage counselors
- Reduced closing costs
- Lowest available rates based on your credit profile
- Help with making mortgage payments—if you're out

True or false: If a check
"clears" within the typical one to five business
days but later is discovered to be fake, the bank customer
who deposited the check and subsequently spends the money
cannot be held financially responsible for the fraud.
