Testimonials

I was having a lot of difficulty with the employer–there was a lot of discrimination against me, so I stood up in front of the employer, and they fired me. I was out of work for a year. But the union kept fighting for me from the beginning to the end, and they got my job back, with the pay that I lost. I am very grateful to [my business agent] and the staff at the union, because they're not afraid to fight. They will stand up for anyone and everyone, and they fight to win.

When you're ready

A hundred fights have started exactly this way — with one worker reaching out.

Tell us where you work and how you'd like us to get in touch. Someone from NEJB who organizes in your industry will follow up. We'll listen first. Then we'll figure out what's possible together.

  • Without a union, your boss sets the rules. With one, you negotiate as equals.
  • Management is legally required to come to the table.
  • 8,000+ workers across NEJB stand behind every fight.

[Someone] came to me and said, I know I've said a lot of awful things about the union. That's how I was raised–I was told the union was bad. But now something's happened, and I don't understand why my supervisor is doing this [to me]. And I told him, I can get you answers. They might not be answers you like, but I can get you answers. That's what we're here for.
