THIS IS HOW UWU MEMBERS GET HIGHER WAGES

Union members earn 26 per cent more on average than non-members. At United Workers Union we have four main strategies that help you get more money in your pocket and advance in your career.

TRAINING

Become a Delegate

A union delegate is a union member just like you. They have a job to do every day, and they answer to the same management that you do. The key difference is that a union delegate has training, tools and protections to help you and other members solve problems at work.
