The Toll of Neglect
The 2018 edition of the Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect report shows how too many workers remain at serious risk of workplace injury, illness and death.
What Unions Do
What We Care About
Help Working Families in Crisis
Donate to the North Carolina Workers Relief Fund to assist union members and their communities affected by the hurricane.
Keep Working People Safe
The Trump administration wants to gut a rule that requires employers to submit workplace injury data, which will make it harder to identify hazardous workplaces and lead to more workers being killed and injured on the job. Tell the Secretary of Labor to keep OSHA's worker safety rule in place.
Our Veterans Deserve Quality Care
Lawmakers want to privatize Veterans Affairs facilities and risk the specialized care our veterans deserve. Tell your senator to protect VA hospitals, and the care of our veterans, from corporate interests.
How to Form a Union
Every worker deserves the right to bargain over their salary and working conditions. Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t in unions.
