Who We Are
A Union is more than the workers themselves.
Workers who join together for a common cause and for common interests have more strength than they can ever achieve individually.
Why We Exist
To protect and advance the following individual and collective rights:
- Wages
- Benefits
- Hours of Work
- Working Conditions
Collective dues from Members provide the means to have the finest representation in:
- Legal
- Financial
- Political Advocacy
- Job Protection
California State Bargaining Unit 12 is here to protect, advance, and preserve individual and collective rights. Members also have the right to participate in and vote on all of the matters that affect:
- You
- Your Work Place
- Your Family
- Your Community
- State of California
This is your most important right.
Benefits
More than just a Union
