Why We Have Unions

"According to the Economic Policy Institute, on average, a worker covered by a union contract earns 13.2% more in wages than a peer with similar education, occupation, and experience in a nonunionized workplace in the same sector."

"Unions engage in 'Collective bargaining'. Collective bargaining is how working people gain a voice at work and the power to shape their working lives.

According to the Economic Policy Institute, Unions:

  • Give workers a voice in policy debates
  • Reduce inequality and are essential for low- and middle-wage workers' ability to obtain a fair share of economic growth
  • Improve the health and safety practices of workplaces
  • Support strong families with better benefits and due process and are good for workers' retirement security"
