AFGE recommends Union Liability Insurance for Union leaders. The policy provides professional liability coverage that is specifically written and designed for the risks and exposures faced by Locals. To help protect the officers and staff, the AFGE national office has had this coverage in place for over 15 years.
The Union Liability policy provides five distinct coverages to protect Locals and their Officers in the performance of their operations. The protections are:
Federal Law, and some union bylaws, prohibit the union from defending officers accused of dishonesty or personal wrongdoing. Under this law, labor union leaders must prove their innocence at their own expense before the union can reimburse them. With the high cost of a lawyer today, you can face personal bankruptcy just for doing your job.
