Special Note: The advertisements above are sometimes from very ANTI UNION businesses (center for union facts). It is a sign of the times where Unions are under attack like never before! They would try to convince you that Unions are bad. The truth is that Unions are bad for crooked businesses and good for workers. So of course they don’t want you to have the right to be Union. Don’t be fooled, the choice and the future is YOURS!!,....the rank and file Union member!

unions brought us the 40-hour week, employer-paid health insurance, fair work rules, social security, workplace safety, paid holidays, sick leave, and heck, even the weekend!

Remember, businesses didn’t give us those things out of the goodness of their hearts, they were fought for and won by past Union members just like you. As they (anti-union businesses and politicians) weaken unions with laws and propaganda, they tell us we can’t expect to have the standard of living tomorrow we do today. We can if we stand together and demand it! If you want a good future in this country for your children and grandchildren, thank a union member and support unions!  Again, the choice is yours.

Thank you for visiting Local Union 1924 on Angelfire. If you are here, you must care about Unions and wish to make a difference! The officers of the Local urge you to stay involved. The strength of a Local Union is a measure of the involvement of the members.

• If you won't stand up and fight for your rights, then who will?

• Together we are stronger!

  We are stronger together! (this fact is so true and is worth repeating here....)

  The companies and corporations stick together and the only way to have a voice at work they will listen to is to be strong together!

  Brotherhood is a great thing! It should be cherished. I will fight for my Brothers and Sisters because I know they will fight for me.
