organization formed by workers who join together and use their strength to have a voice in their workplace. Through their union, workers have the ability to negotiate from a position of strength with employers over wages, benefits, workplace health and safety, job training and other work-related issues. Unions also serve an important role making sure that management acts fairly and treats its workers with respect.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">Unions are democratic organizations and its leaders are elected by the membership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Why would I need a union?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">You work in public service because you care about your community. We can do more for our neighbors, our families, and each other if we speak with one voice. When we organize as a union, we gain the strength to make real change. Together, we speak with one voice that no one can ignore \u2014 not our bosses, not the people we serve, and not our elected officials at any level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>How do I get unionized?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"3\">Making connections and establishing a rapport with someone already in a union is the easiest way.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlrb.gov\/about-nlrb\/rights-we-protect\/the-law\/employees\/your-right-to-form-a-union\"><b>Starting a union<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwua.net\/you-have-the-right-to-join-a-union\/\"><b>Joining a union<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background gradient-container-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-margin-top:10px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom_color_1);--awb-margin-top:10px;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Is there a resource we are missing?
