OpEd: In Turbulent Economic Times, Professionals Benefit From Forming Unions

As Department for Professional Employees, AFL-CIO (DPE) President Jennifer Dorning writes in Newsweek this week, professionals can assert some measure of control and predictability over their work lives, even in turbulent economic times, by joining together in union.

"Professionals understand that their jobs are influenced by economic shifts and technological change. Yet, even amid this uncertainty, a growing number are actively seeking greater control over their professional lives. Union membership offers a proven path not only to enhance economic standing but also to build a crucial sense of security and predictability. By solidifying pay, benefits, and working conditions, unions empower professionals. For those looking to get ahead of the curve and assert their voice in the face of uncertainty, exploring the benefits of unionization and reaching out to an organizer today is a powerful step toward a more secure future."
