$100 MILLION
HFC DID'NT GET

A recent survey by the Credit Union
National Association revealed almost
300 credit unions in the United Auto
Workers (CIO). Since their organi-
zation, they had Jent their members
about $100 million. The savings on
these loans (compared to the cost of
small loans from the small Joan com-
panies) amounted to more than $15
million.)

$15 Million Saved
200,000 Members

Think about that $15 million that
was saved. It might have gone to the
Houschold Finance Corporation, to
the other small-loan companies around
the country. But it didn’t. Because
of the credit unions organized by
UAW members, that $15 million was
added to the purchasing power of
UAW members. Fifteen million dol-
lars more to spend — fifteen million
dollars more purchasing power.

Ben Franklin said a penny saved is
a penny earned. By that rule, UAW-
CIO members have earned themselves
$15 million through their credit
unions in the Jast four years.

In the not quite 300 UAW credit
unions, there are 200,000 members
who have around $20 million saved
up in the credit unions in the form of
shares. Right now, they have on the
books around $10 million in outstand-
ing loans to themselves.

‘That means this month, if they bor-
rowed the $10'million from the small
loan companies, they would be paying
out in interest around $350 thousand.
‘Actualy, however, they are only pay-
ing out some $100,000 per month in
interest. That is, this month UAW
members are saving themselves $250,-
000 through their credit unions.
