An organization of workers joined together for a common purpose, for mutual aid and protection, to engage in concerted activity and collective bargaining, to elevate their conditions of life and labor; an organization by which ordinary people come together to accomplish extraordinary things. 

Why We Join Unions

By joining together, we have more of a say in our working lives. With a union we can negotiate with our employers for better wages and benefits, fair treatment, safe working conditions and a harassment-free workplace.

These goals can be achieved because of the strength which comes from our unity- a very old and widely used concept.

The unions of the world join the United Nations, employers join the Chamber of Commerce and doctors join the American Medical Association.

All such groups recognize the power that comes from joining together to work toward common goals.

Working people recognizing that there is  strength in numbers. We  join unions to further our common goals.

Through unions we achieve a strong voice, one that cannot be easily dismissed by management.  An organization by which ordinary people do extraordinary things.
