Let's Set the Facts Straight
When anti-union politicians claim to give you more choices, they’re really just getting rich off our backs. That’s why the UA fights back at the national and state level to protect our ability to earn fair wages and benefits.
The simple truth is that unions raise wages for all workers by fighting for prevailing wage rates and setting a higher floor. The gains of labor unions over the years have raised standards for all workers and have protected millions of Americans who use the products and services that American workers build, provide, and maintain.
Organized labor secured safer working conditions, overtime pay, weekends off, and so much more. Thanks to organized labor, millions of Americans – union and non-union alike – earn enough to raise a family, purchase a home, send their children to college, and one day retire with dignity.
When Right-to-Work legislation is proposed in Congress, the UA mobilizes all of our members to fight back. So far, we always win.
Right-to-Work?
It’s really just Right-to-Work-for-Less. These misleading laws hurt workers and put more money in the owners’ pockets. Get the facts.
