Organizing CommitteeEvery Union organizing campaign begins because one person or a group a people, decide to improve the current working conditions. Most non- represented workers are considered to be "at-will" employees simply stated these employees can be terminated for absolutely no reason at all. The goal of Union representation is to provide fair treatment, safe working conditions, job security, and equitable wages and benefits to all employees. Union representation eliminates favoritism and promotes democracy. Union representation is the great equalizer to corporate greed. When employees are stuck in the middle and feeling helpless union representation affords employees a voice in their work place.

You have the right to file complaints with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to bring job safety hazards to your employer's attention without retaliation and to get information from your employer about hazardous workplace exposures.

Equal Pay Employers may not pay unequal wages to men and women who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions within the same company.
