This two-pager from the U.S. Department of Labor is a useful resource for workers interested in forming a union or all others who need a basic overview of the unionization process, its benefits, and protections for workers organizing a union. The document includes a step-by-step guide to forming a union, information on employer retaliations and protections from retaliation, as well as protections for unionized workers seeking to unionize.
This is part of a collection of resources created by the Department of Labor and other federal agencies, relating to job quality and implementing good jobs priorities through federal investments and beyond. Many of these resources are no longer publicly available on government websites, though they were all at one point public and shared with the intent of preserving these resources for public use.
Please note that we cannot guarantee that information contained in these resources related to specific programs, policies, and processes remains accurate, though many best practices and examples remain useful. In addition, many of these resources link out to government websites that do not exist anymore. You may be able to find these linked resources in the archive itself by searching the Overview document.
