It isn't a secret that being part of a Union raises wages. Workers uniting in their bargaining will always bring about a better contract, including wages, than any individual bargaining alone or working without any contract at all. If Unions didn't capture for their members a bigger part of the company pie, companies wouldn't work so hard to keep unions out!

This month we repost an article that appeared in the Wisconsin Rapids City Times about the worker actions for our members fighting for a good contract at Aspirus and we discuss where the leading Democratic candidates for President stand on labor issues. There's a reminder about nominations for delegates to the convention in Las Vegas, and finally, there's a job opening at the Union offices.
