Camino PR is a strong proponent of economic justice and equal employment rights. Labor unions play a key role in achieving economic justice. When workers unite with others who do the same type of work, they have a stronger voice on the job and in their community--and can help build a better future for themselves and the people they serve.
Working together, union members have the strength to win better wages, affordable health care, a secure retirement, and safer workplaces. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, union members are much more likely to have health benefits and pensions. Women workers who are union members earn nearly $9,000 a year more than their nonunion counterparts. For African-American workers, the union differential is also about $9,000, and for Latino workers the differential is more than $11,000.
In addition to helping workers win better wages and benefits, unions help all workers by giving working families a stronger voice in our communities, in the political arena, and in the global economy.
