What Unions Do
What We Care About
Support a Pathway to Citizenship
Millions of undocumented immigrants, who are vital to our economic recovery, still live in fear because of our outdated and inhumane immigration system. It’s time to put an end to this injustice. Tell your senators to pass a budget that includes a broad pathway to citizenship.
Protect Workers' Rights
Outdated labor laws have hampered our fundamental right to join together and negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions. That's why we need the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which will empower America's workers and strengthen our democracy.
The PRO Act Is Key to America's Future
The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act is a landmark worker empowerment, civil rights and economic stimulus legislation, and is key to America's future.

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.
