Federal law protects our right to organize a union. That doesn’t mean bosses don’t break the law, but it does mean you have some protection. In fact, your best protection is the fact that thousands of autoworkers are currently standing up to form unions with the UAW across the country, across over a dozen companies. While company retaliation would be illegal, our greatest protection is each other. By joining together and building public support for the union, we make it much harder for the boss to single any of us out individually. A union is all about strength in numbers.
