Here (in capsule form) are eight big advantages unions bring to a workplace:
| Union | No union | |
| Wages, benefits, working conditions | Protected by legal contract. | At the whim of management. |
| Wages | Spelled out in the contract. | Secret. Negotiated individually by management. |
| Raises | Bargained for everyone. All workers vote on the settlement. | Favoritism can determine individual raises. |
| Discipline | The union will defend you. | Lots of luck. You' re on your own. |
| Promotions | Awarded fairly according to negotiated agreement. | Favoritism, the romance, blackmail, you name it. |
| Vacations, shifts, layoffs | Based on the negotiated agreement. | See above. |
| Problems | Union will work on the job to solve them. | Their way or the highway. |
| Give people a voice in the political arena | Work for laws that protect all working people and their families. | Take away or weaken laws that protect workers, i.e., health and safety, overtime, etc. |
