Unions fight to protect and improve workers’ compensation laws, which provide income and medical benefits for anyone who becomes injured or sick because of his or her job. No matter what industry you’re in, there are certain basic health and safety rights that are guaranteed to all workers. The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970 – which created OSHA under the U.S. Department of Labor – gave all workers, union and nonunion, a set of rights and responsibilities. A Union employee who suffers a worker compensation related injury may seek assistance from their union representatives and stewards. We have provided a list of Labor Organizations as a reference.
