Your Benefit Staff Association is dedicated to making our members a top priority. We want to bring about the change and perseverance needed to make this Union shine and ensure our members needs and wants are met, but must stress we need your help to do so.

It is time to once again come together as a unified force. Nothing can be more rewarding than obtaining respect, dedication and Unity, so get on board and let us shine as only the Benefit Fund Staff Association can.  UNITED, INFORMED & COMMITTED... The time is now. 

The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, government relief for the destitute and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life. The captains of industry did not lead this transformation; they resisted it until they were overcome. When in the thirties the wave of union organization crested over the nation, it carried to secure shores not only itself but the whole society.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., speech to the state convention of the Illinois AFL-CIO, Oct. 7, 1965

Quote of the Day...

​

​

At the core, labor unions (we) are working men and women, unified as one force. Despite any personal differences that may exist between us, we have banded together to protect and improve the lives of workers. We rise up together for the greater good. We defend one another like family.
