“…Being part of a union has made a huge difference in my career. Not only has my family benefitted from the benefit packages and contract raises, I also have felt so secure and safe during this pandemic.

I have participated in union Zoom meetings and saw first hand how passionate they are to save the jobs of their members and ensure that when we return to our offices, we will be entering a clean, and safe environment.
