UNIONS 101 Unions are working people working together to solve problems and build a stronger advantage on the job. Unions make it possible for workers to actively participate in the workplace about safety, security, pay, and benefits. Union workers earn about 30 percent more each week than nonunion workers and are much more likely to have health and pension benefits.

Here's our working family agenda:
Anyone who wants to work should have a job with a living wage.

Every worker should enjoy the freedom to form a union and bargain collectively.
Workers want to contribute to, and share in, building a world-class economy.

The Department of Labor Changes the Family and Medical Leave Act       The DOL FMLA Changes to update the regulations under the 15 year-old Family and Medical Leave Act to include service-members.  In addition, other regulatory changes would include a more cumbersome medical certification process, eliminate medical information privacy by allowing an employer to communicate directly to a worker’s health care provider and request medical records, and require workers to make additional doctors visits at their own expense whenever the employer feels they need a clarification on the reason for requesting leave.
