Unions aren’t just for workers — they also benefit your community. By promoting fair pay, safe jobs, and skilled training, they support a strong economy. Experience the union advantage!

More Money in Your Pocket + Better Benefits

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, non-union workers earn about 85% of the median weekly earnings of their union counterparts. That’s a lot of money left on the table! On top of higher pay, union membership also brings stronger retirement security, with nearly all union workers (95%) having access to an employer-paid retirement plan compared to just 72% of non-union workers.

Equal Pay for a Job Well Done

Union contracts ensure men and women earn the same for the same job, because unions are committed to closing the gender gap.
