A union is a group of workers who organize to gain a voice in their workplace and, through their strength, impact wages, work hours, employee benefits, workplace health and safety and other work-related concerns.[1] In the United States, the right to form a union and other workers’ rights (such as the right to strike) are protected by the National Labor Relations Act enacted in 1935.[2] However, if you work in what is known as a “right to work state,” you are protected by right to work legislation and, therefore, cannot be forced to join or support a labor union.[3]
