We are a progressive and dynamic labor organization, shaped by our predecessor unions and leadership who are relentless in their pursuit for social and economic justice for all workers. We represent the aspirations and needs of our members, and work to empower our members to become leaders in their workplaces and communities as well.

​

We are forward-thinkers, guided by lessons learned, determined to pave the way for future generations. We believe in justice, education, equity, compassion, and civility. These values guide us in all the work we do.

​

At the Chicago and Midwest Joint Board of Workers United we stand by each other and tell each other the truth, even when it hurts, because we know that we are better for it. The Chicago and Midwest regional Joint Board belongs to all its members and every one of us feels responsible for its success. We are a proven force for positive change in our workplaces, industries, and communities. We are part of a global progressive movement advancing the right of people everywhere to live and work with dignity.
