Whats a Local Union?
The United States has a national government, but many of the decisions that really affect you are on the state or local level. This is even truer of a union. There is the national union that oversees national operations. But the Local Union assists professionals who want to organize, assists organized bargaining units in bargaining, and helps to track and administer contacts. Decisions regarding local issues are made by the grassroots membership at the local level and not dictated from on high.
