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.

We said, What do we do? This isn't working–we need to do something to make a change. That's when we decided to unionize. Thankfully someone knew Emma, and we were able to tell her everything. We spent two hours telling her all of the crazy things going on, and she was like, This is crazy–let's do something.
