Hello! This is a place where you can find new ways to become
active in your community. Civic commitment and activism can begin with your local
Union...If you are not familiar with labor Unions, here is a good place to begin. The
first question is
how & why
people Join Unions?!
The
short answer is union members earn more money, have better benefits, and have a voice at
work about the best way to get the job done. Get the details about this "union
advantage," plus a look at who belongs to unions. When workers try to organize
unions, they nearly always face systematic employer opposition, both legal and illegal,
that makes union organizing extremely difficult. The reason for this is simple. Unions
give workers power in the workplace and in their lives. Interesting commentary on
unions is included in the article "
