Considering a Union? Don’t vote before you see this (for employees only).
WE GET IT!
You’re frustrated.
You didn’t just wake up thinking, “I really need to send some money to a union.” People seek out unions to solve real problems. We meet thousands of employees every year just like you. Facing tough problems and considering hiring a union to solve them.
You and your coworkers probably tried a lot of other options before talking to a union. Why won’t anyone listen? Can a union help?
Your frustrations and questions are valid. Could we share some experience as someone who’s spent 40 years educating hundreds of thousands of employees in the same boat you’re in today?
Don’t make a hasty decision!
There are a lot of facts available to you if you know where to look. This page will get you started. And remember, nobody who talks to you about unions will be completely neutral. Fact check everything (even us). Then make the best possible choice for you and your family.
