Why Union?
Why union?
Higher wages and better benefits
American labor unions were created to protect the rights of working people everywhere. Through the decades, workers have joined together to negotiate for safer working conditions, higher wages and better benefits, like employer-paid pensions and health insurance.
Union members also advocate for:
- Paid vacation
- Flexible schedules and time off to better support work-life balance
- Advanced training and career development opportunities
- Job stability
- Other workplace protections and improvements
It’s simple: Unions are stronger together. Together, we have a voice. Together, we bring economic stability to our community. Together, we tackle the challenges of a changing industry to shape a more prosperous tomorrow.
