Back in the 1800’s, children as young as 6 years of age were forced to work in factories. It was common for laborers to die at the age of 25 from unsanitary working conditions. Now, because of union organizations, child labor laws protect our children, and workers enjoy healthy working conditions as well as fair wages, reasonable hours, paid holidays, healthcare and retirement benefits.

Whether you’re not earning what you’re worth, or looking to improve working conditions at your job, Local 25 can help you organize.

If you are thinking about organizing, call on Local 25 for help. We will meet with you and your colleagues to clarify your rights as workers to form, join and/or assist unions. And we will help you through the process of bringing the union into your shop and increasing the standard of living for your family.
