Unions
The U.S. Chamber champions a strong economy by advocating for policies that foster growth and opportunities for both workers and employers. Our mission is to ensure thriving opportunities for all by opposing agendas that undermine competitiveness and more government control in the workplace.
Do Unions Deliver on Their Promises?
Feature story
Some claims from unions are feasible, while others are misleading. Here's the reality.
Our Work
We believe in fostering trust and mutual respect between employers and workers who together serve their customers and communities. The U.S. Chamber promotes legislation that leads to a stable business climate, a strong economy, and good jobs. We work with policymakers on behalf of both unionized and non-unionized businesses and fight back against the one-sided, anti-employer agenda of special interest organizations.
