Why Unions?
A union is an organized group of workers who unite to have a say in their working conditions. Being part of a union gives workers the right to negotiate for workplace improvements as a group with their employer and their wins are guaranteed in the form of a union contract.
Unions empower workers, defend their rights and keep employers accountable. Unions are democratic non-profit organizations with leaders elected by the membership every few years. They are governed by constitutions, bylaws and other rules that are voted on by the membership.
Ultimately, unions begin with workers. There are millions of union members in the United States, who know that by standing together they can achieve greater things than on their own.
