The AFT has learned of a "credit" offer recently mailed to AFT members from Union Workers Credit Services, whose Web site implies that the company is associated with the AFT and other international unions.

They are not.

AFT's general counsel has written to this company and demanded that it remove our name from its Web site. Beware of any credit card offer that requires you to pay a fee before you can learn the details of the offer. And be sure that any credit card solicitation is from a bank that actually issues regular credit cards and is not a company, such as Union Workers Credit Services, that provides a card that can be used only to order merchandise from a catalog.

The Fort Worth Better Business Bureau has issued a consumer alert that provides some information on this company. Please spread the word so your co-workers are protected from this misrepresentation of an AFT program.
