Protecting Workers. Strengthening Communities.

UCWA members across the nation are committed to building fair workplaces and secure futures for working families. Through collective bargaining, legislative advocacy, and public action, we work every day to safeguard good jobs, affordable health care, and retirement security for all.

In today’s economy, these essential rights are being chipped away. Companies continue to outsource stable, union-supported jobs, leaving families and communities struggling. UCWA is uniting workers to push back—demanding policies that keep work local, promote fair trade, and invest in industries that drive long-term growth like clean energy, education, and public service.
