One of the most powerful advantages of being in a union is having a real voice at work, a seat at the table where decisions about our jobs, wages, benefits, and working conditions are made. Through collective bargaining, union members negotiate legally binding contracts that secure better pay, fair treatment, and stronger protections on the job.

These gains are possible because union members stand together and take collective action. The more members we have, the stronger our voice and the stronger our contract.

If you haven’t joined yet, now is the time! By joining your union, you are standing in solidarity with your coworkers and helping build the power we need to win a strong contract.

Becoming a member is quick and simple. Just complete and submit the online membership card to get started.
