What Members Say

Jeff MhoonThanks to the union, I have good health care for myself and my family. I had to be off work for an extended period of time and because of Local 81, I got paid sick leave and time-loss benefits. It was nice to have a union when I needed information and sound advice about my injury. My union is always there. When workplace issues arise, I know I can call them.
