Standing Up For Workers' Rights
Anti-union laws like so-called "right to work," paycheck deception and comp time do nothing more than give corporations the ability to increase CEO profits by stripping workers of their rights to come together and speak out for better wages and safer workplaces.
These laws not only have a direct impact on union members, they create downward pressure on all working people's wages and benefits. They're not just anti-union, they're anti-worker.
From on-the-ground training to lobbying our lawmakers to online activism our union is fighting back against these bills.
