Benefits for AFGE Members

When you join the union, you have access to these AFGE benefits. These benefits are backed by the collective strength of over 10-million members of AFL-CIO unions. By using one or two of the programs, many members save as much as their annual dues.

These Money-Saving Benefits are Available Only to AFGE Members:

Flowers Discount

Flowers make the perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, celebrations and tokens of sympathy. The Union Plus Flower Service offers a variety of flowers and plants at union-members-only prices. Choose roses, centerpieces, bouquets, flowers with balloons and baskets and more. Union members can order discounted flowers online or by phone and have them delivered anywhere in the world, satisfaction guaranteed.

• 20% discount per order
• Unconditional 100% satisfaction guarantee
• Wide selection of expertly designed flower arrangements, green and blooming plants and wreaths
• Same-day flower delivery service (if ordered before 12 pm in recipient's time zone)
• International service (with three-day delivery guarantee; orders for delivery outside the U.S. and Canada taken by phone only.)
• Secure site with a My Account password-protected section that can send gift reminders

Order Flowers Online or by Phone

The Union Plus Flower Service "My Account" section features:

• Address Book. You'll automatically see all the addresses to which orders have been sent.
• Gift Reminders. Now you'll never forget to buy your sweetheart flowers on his/her birthday! Set up your contacts in the Address Book, then designate your gift special occasion reminders (e.g. anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) for family and friends. Seven days before each occasion, you'll get an e-mail reminding you of the date.
• Order history, contact information and payment preferences. Rather than retyping your information each time you order flowers, we'll store it and redisplay it for you - safely and securely - when you need it.
• Sign up for e-newsletters
• A $13.99 service fee will be applied.

The Teleflora difference:

The Union Plus Flower Service provider, Teleflora, is committed to a 100% florist delivered model and they do not drop ship any arrangements. That means the service provides hand-delivered arrangements and baskets through local florists rather than flowers delivered in a box by express mail. Teleflora's network of U.S. local florists is significantly larger than the largest competitor.
