Labor and Trade Unions

Labor and trade unions are organizations that are focused solely on their membership base. Your core values are centered on the ability to help and support union members, and what better way to accomplish this than with a cost-effective plan from Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. Countrywide offers plans to suite a variety of needs. We have Legal Plans, Identity Theft and Credit Monitoring Plans as well as Financial Wellness Plans.

We have union clients in a variety of industries, including education, pharmaceuticals, carpentry, electric, plumbing, health care, banking, food services and much more. As a leader in our industry, we offer competitive plans that are designed to give you the most value at the lowest cost to you and your members.

We encourage representatives from large labor unions (AFL-CIO, IBT-Teamsters, AFSCME, UFCW, etc.) and specialized unions (IBEW-Electric Workers, FAAM-Aircraft Mechanics, AAUP-University Professors, etc.) alike to utilize our services for maximum benefit to their members. You can offer our plans as a union-sponsored benefit or as a member-paid benefit, or you can choose a co-pay option.

How Can Our Services Benefit Your Members?

Our Legal Plans deliver comprehensive legal assistance to your member base when they need it most. Most employers don’t offer a supplemental legal benefit to their employees, so as the representative union, you can offer your members legal aid at a low price through Countrywide. They will have access to our nationwide network of attorneys who can help them with a dozens of legal matters, including the Preparation of Wills, Living Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney, Advice on Small Claims Court, Advice on Government Programs and more.

With the number of hacks and breaches occurring, our Identity Theft Plans make members feel secure. They don’t need to worry about closely monitoring their accounts for fraud because they will be notified instantaneously. Members also receive $1 Million of Identity Theft Insurance as well as access to an ID Restoration Specialist who guides them through the process of restoring their identity if they ever did fall victim to identity theft.

Our Financial Wellness Plan assists employees of all generations. Members have access to a network of certified counselors who assist with student loan debt, medical debt, credit card debt and more. The counselors work with the members to create a budget and come up with a unique solution to their problem. Members also have access to a self-study course called “Make Your Move” to guide them through the home-buying process.

The end result is that your members will be able to handle personal matters outside of work hours quickly and efficiently. Most workers don’t seek professional advice for problems they face because they feel that they can’t afford it. Our plans allow your members, regardless of their income level, the opportunity to consult with professionals to get real answers to issues as they arise.

The legal plan has been a great resource and they commonly align the practice area with the best of the best. I have used this in multiple states and locations for a range of services and have saved 10x program costs. I highly recommend this service and is a great benefit MTM provides us. T. Lucas

I have been able to personally recommend this to a number of our people base on the excellent service and quality advice that I have received over the last two years. I have been able to have a new will drawn up, have received advice and review of real estate contracts both in New Jersey and Florida, and have had occasion, unfortunately, to seek advice on criminal charges filed against one of my teenagers. We were delighted when the charges were dropped, the direct result of the representation of the lawyer I immediately contacted from Countrywide. I will continue to recommend Countrywide based on my personal experience as well as the feedback that I have received from our employees. P. Daniels HR Director

We have offered Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services to our employees since 2007. At the time, we were looking for a unique, low cost benefit offering for our employees. I had heard about pre-paid legal services, but must admit, I didn’t think our employees would get much bang for their buck. I was wrong, I was stunned at how many employees actually enrolled in the plan during that first year. Our enrollment continues to be strong and employees rave about the benefit year after year. The plan is simple to administer and Countrywide handle everything in an organized, professional manner. It’s been a very well-received benefit for our employees. J. Magrowski, VP Human Resources

I am very pleased to recommend Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as your legal plan provider. Our benefits philosophy is to attract, motivate, reward and retain the best employees and Countrywide complimented our total rewards package. The set up and rollout of this plan was well organized and quite easy to administer. Countrywide has been easy to work with, has attended our benefit fairs, group meetings and provides us with all communication pieces for open enrollment. J. Kilpatrick Benefits Manager

We made a decision to offer Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as a voluntary benefit to our full-time employees. The benefit was well-received by employees and enrollment has been consistently high. The plan is easy to administer and fully paid at the employee level. Countrywide attends all of our employee fairs, gives an excellent presentation to our employees and they are timely and responsive to our request for information. From an HR perspective, I can highly recommend this service to any company looking to enhance their employee benefits package with quality choices while keeping costs manageable. S. Phillips, VP, Human Resources
