A UNION GIVES YOU A VOICE.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

The National Labor Relations Board states that
you have the right to assemble, form or join a union.

You have the right to organize a union.

“You have the right to organize a union to negotiate with your employer over your terms and conditions of employment. This includes your right to distribute union literature, wear union buttons, t-shirts, or other insignia, solicit co-workers to sign union authorization cards, and discuss the union with co-workers.” - NLRB

You can't be punished for union activity.

“Supervisors and managers cannot spy on you (or make it appear that they are doing so), coercively question you, threaten you or bribe you regarding your union activity or the union activities of your co-workers. You can't be fired, disciplined, demoted, or penalized in any way for engaging in these activities.”- NLRB

You can talk to co-workers.

“Restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.” - NLRB
