How do Workers benefit from forming a Union at their workplace?

A voice at work

When workers come together as one, they gain a voice at work, with a say in wages, benefits, and work rules. Without a union, everything from your paycheck to scheduling is at the whim of management. But collective bargaining gives you power.

Retirement Security

Union workers enjoy stronger retirement security than their nonunion counterparts. In fact, nearly 100% of union members have retirement benefits through their job.

Better Wages

Union members make more money. On average, union workers make nearly 20% more than nonunion workers according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s because a union contract gives workers the power to make sure they are paid their fair share.

Great Healthcare

Union workers enjoy comprehensive and affordable family healthcare. The IBEW negotiates strong health benefits, so workers can access the care they need without worrying about the costs.
