Eight Reasons to Thank Unions


Eight of those reasons are highlighted below: 

  1. Weekends Off: Massive union strikes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries led to shorter work weeks with weekends off. This allowed Americans to be home with loved ones instead of constantly working.
     
  2. Paid Vacations: With summer coming to a close, take time to thank your union for the paid vacation time that made it possible to rest and relax with your family.
     
  3. Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Unions spearheaded the fight that resulted in the passage of this law that gives eligible employees the right to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave annually for family and medical reasons.
     
  4. Breaks at Work—Including Lunch: Although they are now federally mandated, breaks haven't always been an employee right. Studies have shown, breaks provide important rest periods that improve safety and productivity.
     
  5. Sick Leave: Without paid sick leave, many workers couldn't afford to take the time necessary to recover from illnesses and accidents.
     
  6. Paid Holidays: Labor Day is one of nine paid holidays offered by most employers in the U.S. As you spend time with family and friends this Labor Day, thank your union.
     
  7. Military Leave: The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act ensures those that serve their country can keep civilian employment and benefits, and seek employment free from discrimination.
     
  8. 40-hour Work Week: Americans once worked 60 hours a week or more. It wasn't until the 1950's that 40-hour work weeks and 8-hour work days became standard across America thanks to union negotiations.

Thankful for unions
Summary

Unions have played an important role in the lives of America's workers since the early years of our country's history. Even today, in 2018, working Americans, both union and non-union, have a long list of reasons to thank the labor movement including these that give workers the right to paid and unpaid leave.

Top 10 Union-Made Vehicles Union Members Buy

 

  1. Chevy Equinox

    The Chevy Equinox is considered a family friendly SUV for its roomy interior. This well-equipped ride is perfect for all your summer, winter, spring and fall road trips. 
     
  2. Chevy Silverado

    Like its competitors, the Chevy Silverado is a master at the haul, tow and carry routine. But this pickup goes miles ahead of most by sporting a ton of configuration options and hi-tech features. 
     
  3. Ford F-150

    If you’re in the market for a pickup, this workhorse won’t disappoint. It also has a reputation for speed and hi-tech functionality. In fact, the Ford F-series pickup trucks have been the bestselling vehicles in America for decades! That’s quite a distinction. 
     
  4. Jeep Cherokee

    They say variety is the spice of life, and with the Jeep Cherokee, there are several different varieties to choose from. So, spice things up from sporty to luxury with this popular SUV.
     
  5. Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Purpose-built luxury is Jeep’s claim for this modern and elegant SUV. But even with a grand dose of stylish design, the Grand Cherokee still upholds Jeep’s reputation for a sturdy and powerful vehicle that exudes confidence in every way.
     
  6. Ford Escape

    A compact crossover with great looks inside and out, the Ford Escape is also popular for practical features like generous cargo space and gas mileage.
     
  7. Chevy Cruze

    This little go getter has something for everyone. It’s sporty and hi-tech for the young-at-heart; compact for the city driver; gets great mileage for the commuter; and low-priced for the multi-car household looking for savings. 
     
  8. Chevy Traverse 

    As one of the newest SUVs on the market, the Chevy Traverse makes a name for itself with the features of a full-size (seats 8) and the pricing of a compact. 
     
  9. Dodge Ram 1500

    The Ram 1500 packs a mean punch both visually and with its horsepower and towing capabilities. But with the air suspension to improve handling, this fierce pickup easily offers the most comfortable ride.  
     
  10. Chevy Malibu

    More into the mid-size vehicles? The Chevy Malibu might be your speed. Fun fact: the car was named after the city in California.
