“I organize because I believe in the power of unions to improve the lives of working people. Without organizing, we have no power, and we leave our lives in the hands of those who simply do not care about us. I believe we can completely change this world through organizing, solidarity, and direct action.”

“It’s important to show and celebrate the way our union impacts our lives, in and outside of work. Without our union, work conditions would be set by the person who signs the checks and they would prioritize numbers/capital over people without anyone to hold them accountable. Together we can make history by leading the way and showing examples of how unions can protect employees and our families!”

“I am organizing because my team needs a seat at the table for upcoming budget and future of work discussions.”

“I joined our union the moment I accepted my City of Seattle job, which was the first union I’ve ever even had a chance to join. Not one of my previous jobs over 35 years was unionized. I’d watched Norma Rae, Made in Dagenham, and Matewan growing up and knew the importance of unions and was happy to finally be able to pay dues and support such an important organization.”

“I joined my union to support PROTEC17’s advocacy for competitive salaries, benefits, and professional growth opportunities for everyone. As a new Steward, I am focused on growing solidarity and participation in activities.”
