How does
membership work?
Union members
can join the USA for an annual membership fee of $25.The USA will
recruit its members from this massive base of union outdoorsmen.USA
members across the United States and Canada will be part of a
nationwide union sportsmen’s community that is connected through
print, web, TV and continuity buying programs to deliver the best
hunting and fishing information and discounts.
Who can join
the USA?
Any union worker
in good standing with an AFL-CIO affiliated union (see complete list
here) may join the USA. Also, family members of union workers
are encouraged to join the USA.
How do I join
the USA?
The USA will
formally open its doors and begin accepting members in the late
spring of 2007. If you would like to be notified by email when the
club begins accepting members, go to
www.unionsportsmensalliance.com or visit the TRCP or USA website
this spring.
I'm not
currently a union member affiliated with an AFL-CIO union, can I
still join?
For now, the USA
is only open to union members. If you are not a union member, we
encourage you to sign up for your
free partnership with the TRCP. As we move forward, we
anticipate being able to provide special discounts and opportunities
to TRCP partners who are not USA members thanks to relationships we
are building through USA with corporate partners.
