what unions do

By joining together, working women and men gain strength in numbers so they can have a voice at work about the issues they care about.

They negotiate a contract with their employer for things like a fair and safe workplace, better wages, a secure retirement, and family-friendly policies such as paid sick leave and scheduling hours.

union difference
    • Wages: 28% higher than nonunion
    • 78% of union workers have a Pension. Nonunion? 19%
    • Health Benefits: 84% for union workers vs 64% for nonunion
    • Union members have a voice to improve their work environment
    • Unions provide opportunities raising workers from a struggling lower class, to the core of our economy: The Middle Class
Union Strength

Unions provide collective support their members through strength in numbers. Collective bargaining is the process in which working people, through their unions, negotiate contracts with their employers to determine their terms of employment, including pay, benefits, hours, leave, job health and safety policies, ways to balance work and family, and more. Collective bargaining is a way to solve workplace problems.

We’re, “Working members for working families.” That’s really where our heart is.

Chris Tongay

Secretary-Treasurer at Local 688
