At Amalgamated Life Insurance Company, our story begins with a powerful purpose: to protect and uplift working people. Founded in 1943 by Sidney Hillman, a visionary labor leader and founder of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, Amalgamated Life was created to provide cost effective, high-quality insurance solutions to union members and their families. Hillman\u2019s commitment to labor rights laid the foundation for what would become a trusted institution in the insurance industry.<\/p>\n
Before Amalgamated Life was established, Hillman had already made a significant impact on the labor movement. He helped raise the standard of living for garment workers, advocated for safer working conditions following the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911, and played a key role in shaping national labor policy. His contributions included helping to draft the National Labor Relations Act and supporting the Fair Labor Standards Act. Hillman also served on President Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s Labor Advisory Board and the National Industrial Recovery Board.<\/p>\n
This legacy of advocacy and leadership continues to guide our company today. We remain committed to the values that inspired our founding: fairness, solidarity, and economic security. Our mission is to help working people and their families achieve financial stability by offering life, health, and pension products that are both affordable and dependable.<\/p>\n
Over the decades, we have grown into a national organization with a broad footprint. We serve more than 100 unions and over one million members across the country. Our unionized workforce reflects our deep labor ties, and our dedication to service is evident in every aspect of our operations.<\/p>\n
Among our core offerings is Group Term Life Insurance, which provides flexible, cost-effective coverage for union members and their dependents. This plan includes features such as accelerated death benefits and portability, allowing individuals to maintain coverage even if they change jobs.<\/p>\n
We also offer full suite of Group and Voluntary Insurance products and services, giving members the ability to select coverage amounts that suit their personal needs. Premiums can be paid through payroll deduction, making it a convenient and accessible option for many working families.<\/p>\n

These offerings are designed to meet the diverse needs of today\u2019s workforce and provide comprehensive support for union members and their families.<\/p>\n

These efforts honor our founder\u2019s legacy and reinforce our dedication to the labor movement.<\/p>\n At Amalgamated Life Insurance Company, union-driven benefits are more than a tradition.
