There’s more to being a progressive union than achieving and enforcing a contract — and that’s where the Human Relations Department comes in. In order to be a progressive union, we must be responsive to our membership’s needs and diversity.
Our programs and benefits inspire members to participate in the union and give them a sense of inclusion, contribution, and ownership.
