In 2023, a new law required public sector unions to have at least 60% dues-paying members. Over 63,000 workers lost their representation, including university staff, custodial workers, and adjunct professors.
The Consequences of Losing Union Representation
Without a union, workers may face the following risks:
Arbitrary Layoffs: Employers can reduce workforce without accountability.
Reduced Benefits: Healthcare, pensions, and vacation days can be cut.
Unfair Work Conditions: Longer hours, unsafe environments, and lack of protections.
Why Union Membership Matters
✅ Job Security: Protect against layoffs and unfair conditions.
✅ Fair Wages: Ensure wages keep up with inflation.
✅ Better Conditions: Advocate for safety, work hours, and fair policies.
✅ Collective Bargaining: Unions give workers a voice in negotiations.
✅ Workplace Protections: Enforce labor laws and fight against discrimination.
