Unions aren’t just about strikes and politics—the stories the media covers. There’s a big story the media usually misses about unions: how, concretely, they improve workers’ lives.
“Back in the day, we didn’t have any say on anything,” said one union worker. “It was ‘Do what we say or I’ll show you the door.’ Now that we’re unionized, we have a voice. If the company is not doing what they’re supposed to do, we have people to stop them.”
“It’s worth the risk, it’s worth the fight to have a union.”
