Life with DuesDid you know that being a Teamster member gives you a paid life insurance plan? Being a member not only gives you a voice in Union activities, it now comes with the backing of a life insurance plan. This plan has up to a $5,000 Life benefit, $10,000 Accidental Death Benefit & $15,000 if Accidental Death occurs while wearing a seatbelt (some restrictions apply). It is paid on your behalf by the Teamster Local 492 at no extra cost to you. You and your employer are not required to contribute to the plan. Contributions are made
strictly by the Teamsters. These benefits cover only Teamsters members. Life with dues pays cash to your designated beneficiary. Fill out or update your form today by Clicking Here. View the Plan Summary Here. For questions about a Life with Dues Claim, Call 206-329-4900.

The Benefits of Being a Teamster
In addition to job protection, benefits and wages provided for in Teamster Contracts, the International Union provides for additional services offered at a discounted cost to the membership. Because of the strength and size of our membership, the International is able to negotiate these lower costs for services ranging from legal to medical to financial. We are always on the lookout for ways to save our Teamster families money and increase their prosperity.
