Every worker deserves a voice.
Every workplace deserves democracy.
Every American deserves dignity at work.

The Union For All movement recognizes that economic security requires more than healthcare—it demands workplace democracy, fair wages, and the fundamental right to organize without fear.

The Union For All movement represents a modern approach to worker empowerment that goes beyond traditional union organizing to encompass workplace democracy, economic security, and shared prosperity. By combining proven policy solutions with contemporary organizing strategies, it offers a pathway to rebuilding worker power for the 21st century economy.
