About Unions

Labor unions protect U.S. worker rights through the power of numbers behind collective bargaining agreements and resulting grievance processes. Many offer on-the-job training in the form of apprenticeships.

Under state right to work laws, workers may choose whether or not to join unions without consequence, such as retaliation by employers or unions.

Right to work laws also entitle workers to resign union membership at anytime without consequence. Read Right to Work for more information.

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA), a landmark labor law also referred to as the Wagner Act, protects the rights of U.S. union workers at the Federal level. Read Unfair Labor Practices for more information about the Act, such as the union rights it grants to workers, and examples of employer and union violations of the Act that constitute illegal labor practices.
