Take the first step to organizing your workplace:
So How Do Unions Work?
Unions are groups of individuals coming together as one in solidarity to guarantee the things you care about, such as livable wages, affordable health care, job security, safe and respectful workplaces, and fair scheduling.
Unions Are Democratic Bodies
Union members democratically elect their leaders who are then responsible for representing and advocating for the good of the group.
People who join together in a union:
- Gain a fair return on work through collective bargaining.
- Negotiate for good benefits and retirement security.
- Make workplaces safer and more dignified.
