Unions work like a democracy. They hold elections for officers who make decisions on behalf of members, giving workers more power on the job. A local may include workers from the same company or region. It may also have workers from the same business sector, employed by different companies. The collective buying power of union members is also used by Union Privilege to negotiate consumer benefit programs for working families. Union Plus benefits and discounts are for union members and Working America members.
Benefits also include unique assistance for workers facing financial hardship due to disability, layoff, strike and more. Log In Mobile Nav Toggle. Print the Fibonacci series.

There is also widespread misunderstanding on the part of the employer about whom the act covers and when it applies.
There is evidence that this leads employers to reject legally entitled leaves Budd and Brey Union members were found to have significantly less anxiety about losing their job or suffering other employer-imposed penalties for taking leave. And although the authors did not find union membership significantly increases the likelihood that a worker would take leave, they did find that union members were far more likely to receive full pay for leave taken.
The biggest obstacle to workers exercising their rights under the FMLA—besides the fact that the leave is unpaid rather than paid—is information, since only a very slim majority has even heard of the act.
This act, passed in , had two main features: first, it established a federal minimum wage. Second, it established the hour work week for hourly wage earners, with an overtime provision of time and a half the hourly wage for work done beyond 40 hours. Trejo examined the union effect on compliance of the latter part of the FLSA, finding that employer compliance with the overtime pay regulation rose sharply with the presence of a union.
He hypothesizes that this result reflects the policing function of unions because unions often report violations to enforcement agencies. The research evidence clearly shows that the labor protections enjoyed by the entire U. The workplace laws and regulations, which unions helped to pass, constitute the majority of the labor and industrial relations policies of the United States.
Research has shown convincingly that unions have played a significant role in enforcing these laws and ensuring that workers are protected and have access to benefits to which they are legally entitled.
Unions make a substantial and measurable difference in the implementation of labor laws. Legislated labor protections are sometimes considered alternatives to collective bargaining in the workplace, but the fact of the matter is that a top-down strategy of legislating protections may not be influential unless there is also an effective voice and intermediary for workers at the workplace—unions. Labor legislation and unionization are best thought of as complements, not substitutes. This paper has presented evidence on some of the advantages that unionized workers enjoy as the result of union organization and collective bargaining: higher wages; more and better benefits; more effective utilization of social insurance programs; and more effective enforcement of legislated labor protections such as safety, health, and overtime regulations.
Unions also set pay standards and practices that raise the wages of nonunionized workers in occupations and industries where there is a strong union presence. Collective bargaining fuels innovations in wages, benefits, and work practices that affect both unionized and nonunionized workers. However, this review does not paint a full picture of the role of unions in workers lives, as unions enable due process in the workplace and facilitate a strong worker voice in the broader community and in politics.
Many observers have stated, correctly, that a strong labor movement is essential to a thriving democracy. Nor does this review address how unionism and collective bargaining affect individual firms and the economy more generally.
Analyses of the union effect on firms and the economy have generally found unions to be a positive force, improving the performance of firms and contributing to economic growth Freeman and Medoff ; Mishel and Voos ; Belman ; Belman and Block ; Stiglitz ; Freeman and Kleiner ; Hristus and Laroche ; with a dissenting view in Hirsch There is nothing in the extensive economic analysis of unions to suggest that there are economic costs that offset the positive union impact on the wages, benefits, and labor protections of unionized and nonunionized workers.
The ECI overstates nonunion benefit coverage to the extent that uncovered nonunion workers are present in unionized occupation groups. Amberg, Stephen. Albany, N. Barkume, Anthony J.
