Member Forward
The Chicago and Midwest Joint Board of Workers United, is one of the most active labor unions in the country. We strive in being the leaders in union activism and education. Our goal is to make sure our members get the best representation at work, while they learn about their rights in an unfair economic system. We want our members and all workers in America to get a living wage and to see the end of draconian right-to-work laws.
