WHAT IS A UNION?
At its core the union is us, the staff that make Pitt work.
A union is an organized group of workers who unite to make decisions about conditions affecting their work. Labor unions strive to bring economic and social justice, along with a democratic voice, to our workplaces. In legal terms unions are often called the exclusive bargaining agent. The union acts as the collective voice of the employees when negotiating with the employer regarding the terms and conditions of employment.
