Our Local represents Bargaining Units at Avaya, AT&T Mobility, CenturyLink, Dex, Northland Cable, Qwest Communications, and various print shops. The geographical area we represent includes Eastern WA and parts of Montana and Idaho. At Local 7818 we serve our members through organizing, community and political action, and representation. We need your input. Help us be the voice of the working class that this country so desperately needs

We want to see our employers be successful and flourish. Unfortunately, companies have a tendancy to show little or no respect to their working class employees. The concerns of working families are every bit as valid as those of corporate interests. Union members know that working families have the right to be heard in the American political process. Without their voice, there would be no employer-provided health care, no minimum wage, no overtime pay, no job safety protections, and no retirement or job security. 

Why Join a Union?

Do you ever feel like there is no one fighting for your interests? Unions need to get back to their roots and once again be the voice for all of the working class.

Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 30 percent higher than their nonunion counterparts. While only 14 percent of nonunion workers have guaranteed pensions, fully 68 percent of union workers do. More than 97 percent of union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but only 85 percent of nonunion workers do. Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their jobs.
