ORGANIZE

A union is an organization of working people who unite to get rights on the job that they could not get by themselves. As individuals, workers are no match for the employer. Without a union, the employer decides everything and the employee has no say at all.

In non-union hotels, the managers can fire you, cut your wages or your benefits, treat you unfairly, show favoritism or change schedules whenever they want. But when you unite as a union, you'll have the power to demand better conditions, better wages and benefits, job security, fair treatment, and respect.

A union can force management to provide these rights in writing - in a binding union contract that management must respect.
