Take back the workplace and join a union. The National Labor Relations
Act guarantees a worker's rights. Unions represent those rights. It
allows workers to stand together and accomplish more together than they
would alone. Unions negotiate working conditions, wages, contracts and
benefits with employers.
- Contact your local union. Most unions have a
presence in the workplace. Some even require you to join when you are
hired for the position. If you don't know how to find a union
organizer, ask coworkers who you should talk to. If they don't know,
find your local union at Unions.org.
-
Step 2
Fill
out a membership form. Provide your name, address, phone number, email
address, employer's name and the information of the union you are
joining. The union may also include payment information on the form.
-
Step 3
Pay
your dues. Every union collects dues from its members. The money goes
toward helping the union represent the workers legally and monetarily.
-
Step 4
Start attending meetings. Get involved and learn first-hand what the union offers to its workers.
-
Step 5
Form
a union yourself. If you and fellow workers need representation but
there is no union to be found, do it yourself. Work with the American
Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations to get your
union off the ground. The AFL-CIO is made up of 66 unions across the
United States. Use their resources to form a strong local union.
