Organizing 101

Find out how you can come together with your co-workers to make work a better place for everyone by exploring this special site -- exclusively for Dannon workers!

A union is a group of workers who join together to achieve better wages, better benefits, respect on the job, and a stronger voice in workplace decisions. With the help of a union, workers negotiate a contract with their employer to ensure these things.

Without a union, employers have 100% control over its employees and complete authority to make all decisions. Unions give employees some of this control to make their workplace better. A union's major goal is to give workers a voice on the job for respect, safety, security, better pay and benefits, and other improvements to working conditions.

More than 80 percent of Danone-owned facilities are represented by a union!

The CEO and other top company executives have contracts with the compnay -- as well as more than 70,000 other Danone employees -- why not Dannon workers in Minster, Ohio?
