We Are Member Driven
Members vote for leadership, on financial matters, and on constitutional amendments. Our volunteer Executive Board members are elected every two years and meet monthly via Zoom;  meetings are open to attendance by all members and are generally held on the third Thursday of the month. Contact us for Zoom info, or if you want to find out more about getting involved, unionlocal800@gmail.com 

Benefits of Membership
Enjoy services and discounts on travel, legal issues, dental work, vision prescriptions, insurance, home/auto insurance, and more.

Our History
In the early 1960s three forward thinking Jewish communal professionals spearheaded a movement to organize their work sites. They saw that conditions would not improve, and were likely to get worse, if they did not organize for power on the job.

The One Thing You Need To Know
Your Weingarten Rights guarantee your right Union representation in any disciplinary meeting with management. The presence of someone who has your back at one of these proceedings can be the difference between keeping or losing your job.
