Form a Union Organizing a union in your workplace is about getting more rights and more power. Thousands of working people—all across the country and in all kinds of jobs—organize unions every year because unions are the best way to secure the things you care about. Union members have a say about pay, benefits, working conditions and how their jobs get done. Union wages are better, union shops are safer and union jobs are more secure. Get in touch with an organizer who can answer your questions about forming a union.
