Are You Eligible?

BTCU members are a very exclusive group.

In fact, there are only a few dozen union and affiliated groups in the Midwest whose members are eligible to join us. And we’re honored to have every one of them.

Anyone who is a member or an employee of one of the following unions or affiliated groups is eligible for membership at BTCU. An eligible person’s immediate family members and members of their household are also eligible to join.

A person who retired while in the field of membership remains eligible for membership after retiring. The spouse of a person who died while eligible for membership may also become a member of BTCU. 

Immediate Family Member means:

• a spouse
• a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, step-child, or adoptive child
