Chan Chi Chiu (David) is a Senior Electric Meter Technician in the Electric Meter Shop with Local 1-2. He has 20 years of service and he is deeply grateful to the UWUA for the stability and security the union has provided for his family. The job security, safe work environment, and comprehensive benefits have allowed his family to pave a path to success and to the American dream.
Unions bring people together. Unions level the playing field. Unions build power. Union members earn higher wages, receive better pension benefits, and enjoy better health insurance coverage than their non-union counterparts.
Reach out to UWUA’s organizing team if you’re interested in starting the conversation about how to start a union. We’re here to answer your questions and guide you along the way.
