YOU deserve a higher wage, YOU deserve world class insurance, YOU deserve a pension and the right to retire with dignity! EVERY SINGLE PERSON has the right to be union! Its your turn…

THE LAW

  • National Labor Relations Act: In 1935, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), making clear that it is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining by protecting workers’ full freedom of association. The NLRA protects workplace democracy by providing employees at private-sector workplaces the fundamental right to seek better working conditions and designation of representation without fear of retaliation.
  • Joining together in unions enables workers to negotiate for higher wages and benefits and improve conditions in the workplace. There are millions of union members in America from all walks of life. These individuals know that by speaking up together, you can accomplish more than you could on your own.      – AFL-CIO
  • Why would a company want to unionize? The case for neutrality is clear: workers and companies do better when worker choice is respected: Unionized workplaces have stronger safety practices, better retention rates and higher productivity overall ‒ all benefits that translate into stronger businesses.           -DOL-BLOG
  • What happens if a company unionizes? Unionizing a company involves employees joining together to form a union to collectively bargain and negotiate with their employer over wages, working hours, safety standards, and other terms and conditions of employment.
  • Can employees be fired for trying to unionize? No, it would violate the National Labor Relations Act to terminate an employee for union activity. However, you may take adverse action against them if it is sufficiently unrelated to their union activity.
