"Without a union, you stand on your own.  With a union, you've got brothers and sisters to stand by you. You don't always win your fights, but your chances of winning are better when you stand together.”

Mary Livingston
“You’re always better off with a union backing you.  I’ve been in a shop without one and if the company doesn’t want to listen to you, you have no recourse. The union ensures fair working conditions, with better wages and benefits.”
Bob Stanley

“You have a choice in the way you live.  With a union, you open the door to many different ways to help yourself, your coworkers and your community.  For every fight, there is a cost, but the result is choice and freedom.”
