Being a member of your union is incredibly important. It allows you to have a say in contract bargaining and in important votes regarding workplace conditions. More importantly, it demonstrates to your employer that your union is powerful and active, limiting the risk of union-busting and stalling in negotiations.

Your union membership also includes a variety of special benefits, such as special scholarships, Union Plus, free tows, and more. Discover the various perks your Local 39 Membership offers below!
