Empower Collective Unity
Unions play a vital role in the local community and economy since they are where workers invest their paycheques.
When individuals earn their incomes, they contribute to the success of local businesses, which in turn create jobs within the community. This economic activity strengthens the local tax base, enabling the provision of essential public services that enhance everyone's quality of life.
When unions advocate for fairness, they play a crucial role in improving our communities and the well-being of all Somalis. Many rights and benefits initially secured by unions, such as minimum wages, overtime pay, workplace safety standards, maternity and parental leave, vacation pay, and protection from discrimination and harassment, have become fundamental for all workers today.
