Hi John,
Are you a union member? Do you have a family member in a union? Or do you just want a free sticker and a way to show union pride this Labor Day?
Sign up for AFL-CIO text messages and request a sticker now.
We have good reason to celebrate this Labor Day.
Standing together with co-workers in a union makes a tangible difference you can feel every day. Here are just a few benefits:
-
Workers in labor unions make 18% more in wages than our nonunion counterparts.
-
We are more likely to have health care benefits. More than nine out of 10 union members have access to employer-provided health insurance, compared to 68% of nonunion workers, according to the Department of Labor.
-
We work in safer workplaces. One study found job sites that were unionized have lost-time claims at a 31% lower rate than nonunionized sites.
-
We have more job security—even and especially in moments of economic crisis.
Countries where most workers are in a union are among the happiest and healthiest on Earth.
Life is better in a union.
Thanks for spreading the word!
In Solidarity,
Team AFL-CIO
