For generations, Unions helped build America by giving working people a collective voice to negotiate for better wages, benefits, safer workplaces, retirement security and a more fair share of the wealth their work creates.

This Labor Day weekend, Democrats in Perry Township celebrate what organized labor helped build – and why worker power still matters. .
