Justice @ Stanley
Check out the new website for workers at Stanley who are organizing with UE in Vermont and California: www.justiceatstanley.org
UE is an independent, national union which represents 35,000 workers in many sectors of the economy, including manufacturing, health care, public service and many educational and non-profit institutions. UE has seven locals in Vermont.
UE locals engage in collective bargaining to improve our wages, benefits and working conditions. We also engage in political action to defend the rights and interests of all working people. Finally, we actively promote solidarity between different unions, because we are stronger when we all work together. An Injury to One is an Injury to All!
In UE, we believe that our greatest strength and resource is our membership. Our slogan is "The Members Run This Union". Contract settlements, strikes, and any other action of the locals are decided by a membership vote. Officers are elected for one year terms, to ensure accountability. The books and financial records of the union are open to the membership, and are audited regularly by rank-and-file members.
