Tucson Bus Riders Union recently formed to organize and get protection for Tucson’s bus riding community. The City of Tucson has continued raising fares in these troubled economic and environmental times. Instead, it would make more sense for the city to offer affordable public transportation.
For more details visit Sun Tran riders organize union to prevent fare hikes, route cuts.
The union bug is a sign of a just work place. Gloo Factory employees are under contract with the Communications Workers of America. Together we strive to make the work place comfortable and beneficial to all.
Why do labor unions exist? To create safe working conditions, immigrant rights, equal pay and living wages and benefits through collective bargaining power. Why? Because without it, many workers are denied fair labor practices.
Labor unions first began organizing in the U.S. in about the 1800s, but became more prominent towards the late 1800s during industrialization.
