Union 101

Union 101 is an introductory resource designed to explain the fundamentals of union membership and how unions make a difference in the workplace. It outlines the many benefits of joining a union, including legal representation to protect workers’ rights, the ability to negotiate higher wages and better benefits, and ensuring safe and fair working conditions. It also emphasizes the role of unions in providing ongoing training and professional development opportunities, creating a stronger collective voice, and offering protection against unfair treatment or discrimination. By breaking down these key elements, Union 101 helps members and potential members understand not only what unions do, but also how they directly improve the lives of workers and their families.
