IATSE Member Wins
$5,000 In Union Plus
“WHAT KIND OF UNION-MADE VEHICLE ARE YOU?”
LABOR DAY SWEEPSTAKES
IATSE Local 19 member Joseph D’Antonio of Pasadena, MD, is one of two lucky
$5,000 winners of the Union Plus “What Kind of Union-Made Vehicle Are You?”
Labor Day Sweepstakes, sponsored by the Union Plus Auto Buying program.
In order to enter to win the contest, nearly 25,000 entrants
completed a short quiz, which revealed their unionmade
vehicle personality type. Fortunately for D’Antonio,
the odds were in his favor.
D’Antonio recalled his shock when he learned he had
won $5,000.
“Yeah, it was pretty big, and I didn’t believe I had won
at first. Union Plus is definitely a very beneficial resource
to have. And on top of that, they have a sweepstakes that
union members actually can win!” he laughed.
D’Antonio found out about the sweepstakes when he
came across it while browsing for discounts on the Union-
Plus.org website. He’s an all-things-union aficionado who
is enrolled in several Union Plus programs. One of his favorite
programs are the downloadable Goodyear tires and
service coupons available on the Union Plus website.
Of the hundreds of union-made vehicles, he learned
the model that suits his personality type most is actually a
Cadillac CTS, which doesn’t entirely surprise him.
“Cadillacs are one of my favorite cars in the first place,
so it worked out perfectly. I think they’re very stylish, sophisticated,
and upscale. My very first car was a Cadillac,
and that car seems to suit me pretty well,” D’Antonio says.
D’Antonio says he plans to put the money toward paying
off his current car. He would like to trade it in for a new
one soon, and will definitely take advantage of the Union
Plus Auto Buying program, which offers special rebates
and savings to eligible union members.
