We Are One: Remember Where You Came From

“People don’t realize that by not belonging to the union, the only right they have on the job is the right to die. People don’t understand that the collective bargaining agreements and the right to organize protects them,” said Ray Stever, President of the New Jersey Industrial Union Council.
