Connect with your co-workers.
Identify co-workers who share a common interest in organizing a union.
Talk to a union organizer and learn about the next steps and the support available to you.
Build support among your co-workers.
Speak with your co-workers to gain their backing for the union.
Show your support.
Demonstrate majority support through a union election or a card-check process.
Negotiate your contract.
Once the union is certified or recognized, your employer is required to bargain with your union representatives over the terms and conditions of your employment.
