Each year, thousands of workers are killed and millions more injured or diseased because of their jobs. Many job hazards are unregulated and uncontrolled. Some employers cut corners and violate the law, putting workers in ...

Everyone Benefits From Unions
"Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden freedom is lost." President Ronald Reagan.
“United we bargain. Divided we beg,” Service Employees International Union slogan.
“We all do better when we all do better,” the late Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota.
Everyone doing better involves collective action and win-win solutions. This is what collective bargaining by unions is all about. It is democracy applied to the workplace. Ronald Reagan's statement is true even if spoken disingenuously by a union busting politician.
We are all better off ...

Happy Labor Day
Every Labor Day, I take time to give thanks and celebrate America’s labor movement.

Workers joining together in unions and working together bringing forth their demands is what has won advances that benefit everyone in this country. These include decent wages, pensions and fair ...
Life is Better With a Union

Union members generally make more money. We fight for fair wages and equal rights for women. Union members believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Our group of retiree’s support Medicare and Medicaid so seniors and the most vulnerable have access to quality care. Anyone who works all their life should be able to retire with financial ...
