When workers decide they want to come together to improve their jobs, they work with a union to help them. Once a majority of workers show they want a union, sometimes employers honor the worker's choice. Often, the workers must ask the government to hold an election. If the workers win their election for union representation, they can then negotiate a contract with the employer that spells out each party's rights and responsibilities in the workplace.

To get in touch with a union organizer, you can send an e-mail, or call 1.800.999.0951. Your inquiry will by forwarded to an organizer at UFCW Michigan. It will not be transmitted or disclosed to anyone, and is completely confidential!
