Union Difference

Life is better in a union.

The numbers tell the story: Union members make more money, have more reliable health care coverage and retire with financial security. Because we stand together, we have the power to negotiate for the wages and benefits we have earned.

But being in a union is about more than just pay and benefits. It’s about respect for the work we do. It's about being safe and protected on the job. It's about having the resources and training to do our jobs well. And it’s about always having someone to turn to if something's not right.

The Facts

Because union members sit down with management to negotiate our contracts, and because we stand together, we almost universally make more money and have better benefits.
