Standing together with co-workers in a union makes a tangible difference you can feel every day. Here are just a few benefits:
Workers in labor unions make 18% more in wages than our nonunion counterparts.
We are more likely to have health care benefits. More than nine out of 10 union members have access to employer-provided health insurance, compared to 68% of nonunion workers, according to the Department of Labor.
We work in safer workplaces. One study found job sites that were unionized have lost-time claims at a 31% lower rate than non-unionized sites.
We have more job security—even and especially in moments of economic crisis.
Countries where most workers are in a union are among the happiest and healthiest on Earth.
Life is better in a union.
That’s why this Labor Day we’re celebrating our fundamental right to organize by reminding workers across the world—it’s better in a union!
