What is a union?
Unions are democratically elected member organizations dedicated to representing the interests of working people across diverse workplaces. Unions are centered around a simple proposition: by coming together in solidarity, working women and men gain strength in numbers so they can have a voice at work about what they care about. Working people who organize, unify their voices with employers for things like a fair and safe workplace, better wages and a secure retirement.
