Unionize California

SO YOU WANT TO JOIN A UNION?

Then you’ve come to the right place! The labor movement is here to help you unionize your workplace.

You’ve already taken the most important step! Deciding to unionize your workplace means you and your coworkers recognize the value of your work and the importance of standing together, and you’re ready to demand more. Forming a union empowers you and your colleagues to fight for better pay, safer working conditions, and retirement security, to combat retaliation, racial discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace, and so much more. It’s simple: forming a union means having a real voice on the job.
