What is a Union?

A union is a group of workers who are united together to have a collective voice in their jobs and working conditions. The basic idea of a union is that by joining together with fellow employees to form a union, workers have a greater ability to improve conditions at the worksite. In other words, “in unity there is strength.”

WWhat about Pay and Benefits?

The purpose of forming a union is to win improvements in wages and benefits, not to lose them. We start with what we have and go up. On average, unionized workers earn one third more than non-union workers in wages and benefits.
