About Us
Our Story
Union Goods and Services is a company whose mission is to provide our union member customers help sourcing decorated merchandise for their members and security for their sensitive data. If that sounds a bit strange at first. ...How are those two concepts related? There is a simple explanation. Like most union locals, Union Goods & Services is a relatively small company with no in-house IT department. We know what it's like to be vulnerable to the dangers that lurk on the internet. We needed a rock-solid Data Security Plan for our company. Working with unions all across the country I can clearly see that the vast majority are either very exposed to data theft and ransomware attacks or in many cases are overpaying multiple IT venders for overlapping service plans. Their thinking being, since no one in our union is an IT expert, let's buy one of everything and hope that keeps us safe.
Promotional Merchandise:
We offer thousands of reliable and cost effective Made in the USA promotional merchandise. Whenever possible and available, our first offerings will be union-made merchandise as well. As you review the various categories and products on our site be assured that every item we offer is Made in the USA and we will indicate union-made items as well. Although this collection on our website is extensive it is not exhaustive. So, if you have something in mind that you can’t find in a search of our website, please reach out to me [email protected] and I’ll do an extensive search for it. You can pretty much be assured that nearly any item that you need with your union’s name or logo placed on 99% of the time we will find it for you, made by US workers.
Technology Security:
We realize that unions make ideal targets for the bad actors online. Your network is connected to lots of extremely sensitive, private member data, contact information social security numbers, dues payment credit cards as well as highly confidential union information that must be protected from unauthorizes scrutiny. In almost every case a local has very little if any in-house IT support and things in the world change by the hour. If your officers are not themselves tech-savvy it leaves your union at risk and can be the cause of sleepless nights for the executive team members.
Our technology services division can offer you full protection of your data, assurance that your systems are complaint with all data management of sensitive member information, and we do it all using easy to understand non-tech babble speak.
