In those instances in which IEA members find themselves involved in a strike, the IEA Credit Union is there to help. If IEACU members lose pay as a result of a work stoppage, the Credit Union can make interest-free strike loans for as much as their net paycheck. After they return to work, CU members pay the loan back within six months through payroll deduction.
Arrangements for these special strike loans must be made in coordination with the local IEA UniServ Director. The IEA- NEA pays interest on the loans for the members.
