Unions
Make a Difference
Union workers of all ages receive better wages and benefits.
Union membership also offers the best guarantee for America's workers that
they will have sufficient income when they retire. In the United States,
almost four of every five union workers are covered under pension plans,
compared with less than half of nonunion workers. Many union-negotiated
plans include a defined benefit, which ensures workers a specific amount
of money each month. Union contracts also give workers a voice in the
management of their retirement accounts through union-management
trusteeships.
