There are many ways unions help the economy, and I now list but a few of them. Economic security for
workers will increase consumer demand, which in turn will spur economic recovery. Better wages and benefits, along with
the ability to speak out at work about one’s workplace concerns, make workers more content and therefore more productive.
Improved wages and benefits will lead to more stable households where children receive the benefit of a good education,
and will enter the labor market as better workers. Union‐negotiated benefits like sick leave will allow workers to
stay home and recover rather than go to work day‐in and day‐out in a debilitated state, or expose colleagues to illness.
