The Union Difference
The union difference is more money in your pockets to buy a home, start a family, pay down student loan debt and save for retirement.
Focus Areas
Better Pay, Benefits & Retirement
Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 11.2% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
Ninety-six percent of union workers have employer-provided health insurance, but only 69% of nonunion workers do.
Unions help bring more working people into the middle class. In fact, in states where people don’t have union rights, workers’ incomes are lower.
Workers in a union are more likely to participate in an employer-provided guaranteed pension plan than working people without a union (96% compared to 69%).
