 Protect Your Right to Form a Union

"The Union Movement is the last and only line of defense for working Americans."

Our union has always followed three guiding principles when endorsing political candidates. First, the wellbeing and opinions of our members are paramount. Second, as a union we fundamentally believe that the right to collectively bargain contracts is the only way to ensure high wages, good health care and a safe retirement. Lastly, we believe that the primary role of the federal government and elected officials is to help people reach their potential, and that once a person reaches their potential, they have an obligation as an American to help others do the same.

We will need your help in mounting a campaign to drive both Democrats and Republicans away from corporate interests and back to our fundamental principles. The Union Movement is the last and only line of defense for working Americans. These are fights that will directly impact our economic interests. And we can win them if we speak with a united voice.

This website is designed as a resource to help Protect Your Union, provide issue specific information on working Americans, tools to motivate your local and community, and as a way to elect officials who are pro-worker.  Below are links to get you started.
