Every new member of organized labor improves their own lives and opportunities as well as strengthening all of organized labor.  Today over 13,000,000 people belong to labor unions.  Each current union member owes it to themselves and the labor movement to recruit one new member to our ranks each year.  The more members we have the better able we are to protect and defend workers rights.
