Membership
Why become a member?
According
to the AFL-CIO, union members earn better wages and benefits than workers
who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 29 percent
higher than their nonunion counterparts. While only 16 percent of nonunion
workers have guaranteed pensions, fully 73 percent of union workers do. More
than 9 out of 10 union workers have jobs that provide health insurance
benefits, but fewer than 7 out of 10 nonunion workers do. Unions help
employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a
say in improving their jobs.
The union is us! It's only as strong and effective,
as it's members.
