National Labor Office: About Us
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) is the national coordinating body for the nation's 39 independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies. These Blue companies provide health benefits for more union workers, retirees, and their families than any other national carrier. Collectively bargained contracts account for approximately 20 million Blue company members - approximately one-fifth of the Blue System's national enrollment. BCBSA established the National Labor Office (NLO) in 1965 to demonstrate its strong commitment to building successful partnerships with organized labor.
