District 947, IAM

What is a Union? The Union is YOU!!!

You and your coworkers ARE the Union.

By definition, a union is a group of coworkers who come together under federal law to negotiate with their employers over their wages, benefits, and other working conditions.

At the end of the day, it’s really all about you and your coworkers coming together to demand better.
