The Fight for a Voice@Work
When you go to work, what do you look for in your job? Like most workers, your list probably includes a decent wage, health insurance, job security and a voice on the job to help solve workplace problems. And as experience has shown, the best way to win these improvements is by forming a union. Workers know this, too: Studies show the number of workers who want unions is more than three times the number of workers who belong to unions now.
But when workers try to form unions, employers routinely respond with campaigns of intimidation, coercion, misinformation—and even by firing their employees. Federal law protects workers' freedom to form a union—in theory. In reality, when America's workers seek a voice on the job, they struggle to maintain their basic workplace right: the freedom to join a union.
That's why the union movement has launched a Voice@Work campaign to help U.S. workers regain the basic human right to form unions to improve their lives.
