What is a union?
Unions are workers who stand together to bargain with their bosses for better pay, safer working conditions, and good benefits. Individually, workers don’t have much power in the workplace. But when we act collectively, we have a seat at the table and can influence our employers.
We provide comprehensive support in enforcing contracts, increasing bargaining power, and negotiating at the table.
- Experienced negotiators at the table
- In-Depth benefit and salary research
- Legal and professional representation
- Resources, trainings, and communications
