With the Economy in Doubt, Some Help for Teachers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  • NEW YORK, November 17, 2008—TeachersCount.org honors the tremendous impact teachers have on our society and celebrates the work they do. In an effort to bring benefits to the teaching world long enjoyed by big business employees, TeachersCount has created a program called TeachersDisCount.
  • TeachersCount has paired the NEA and AFT unions, which represent 90% of teachers nationwide, with the leading provider of Employee Discount Programs that currently works with over 90,000 corporations and over 20,000 merchants nationwide.
  • Through TeachersDisCount, members of both unions receive discounts on both high-dollar items, such as electronics, jewelry and travel, and everyday necessities, such as groceries and household supplies. Plans to include non-union teachers are progressing.
  • Some of the most popular current discounts are with BlackBerry, Target, Phillips and Restaurant.com.  Register through TeachersCount at http://www.teachersdiscount.biz/.
