We are Workers United! |
The Rochester Regional Joint Board (RRJB) is one of the greatest unions anywhere. That’s a big claim, but one we’re proud to back up with our long record in the labor movement.
We’re the union that pioneered the introduction of employee involvement into the American labor movement. We’re the union that brought members unemployment insurance nine years before the State of New York created such coverage. We’re the ones who created the Sidney Hillman Health Center in Rochester, bringing free medical exams, low-cost prescriptions, and free eye exams and glasses to thousands. We’re the union that’s negotiated long-term job security guarantees for thousands of members. In addition, we’re in the front ranks of those seeking to organize workers all across upstate New York to give them the decent wages, benefits, and protection that only a union can ensure. The Joint Board is an umbrella labor organization with many affiliated unions we call “Locals.” We’re one of the largest trade unions in the state outside New York City. We represent some 7,500 workers throughout Western, Central and Upstate New York — essentially all of the state except for New York City and the Hudson Valley. No union has greater diversity than we do. We represent workers from virtually every cultural, ethnic, racial and religious background — workers who came here from more than 50 countries. Our members work in commercial laundries, large food service operations, restaurants, call centers, racinos, hotels and industrial factories. Our Joint Board is part of the Workers United international union, which represents 150,000 workers in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. All of this — and much more — is why I proudly say that the RRJB is a great union. I hope you’ll visit our web site frequently to keep up-to-date about all the things we’re doing for our members and our efforts to bring union protection to unorganized workers. Best regards, Gary Bonadonna
