Membership Benefits for Legal Help in the Local 400 Union
The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 400 represents workers in the industries of retail food, health care, service, food processing, etc. Members of the UFCW Union reside in several states, including Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The UFCW works to make sure these workers have a voice, are paid fairly, and receive adequate benefits. Members of the union have access to prepaid legal services in an effort to ensure accessible and affordable legal representation.
If you’re a member of the UFCW Local 400, you’re eligible for participation in the prepaid legal service plan. The plan offers free consultations and legal help through Akman & Associates at no cost or at a significantly pre-bargained and discounted cost.
The Benefits of a Group Legal Plan
There are several benefits to group legal plans to be aware of. First, because you’re a part of a larger organization, you’ll receive legal help at little or no cost. How does it this work? Much like a healthcare plan, your legal plan is paid by a set amount that can be deducted from your paycheck each month. This benefit allows you to access a strong firm of attorneys for consultations and services.
Through the plan, you’ll be able to receive legal advice and representation for a variety of personal legal matters such as estate planning and probate, personal injury, family law, , and more. The coverage may not be limited to you alone. Check with your union for more details about coverage for spouses and dependents.
As a member of your UCFW Local 400, you owe it to yourself and your family to learn more about the legal plan available to you. Make sure your rights are protected and connect with the union to find out more.
