Kenny Mullins

Union Up does all our communication and built our website as well. The Organize 24/7 recruiting program and newsletter was a game changer for us. I've gotten so much great feedback from our members. They see the ads and forward them too.

We've been with Union Up for six years now. It's one of the smartest moves I've ever made. They help us with our communication with potential members, to current members, to contractors. It's been a great partnership, a great experience for us, and I'm very proud to continue to do so.

It absolutely matters how you present yourself. Young people are the future of organized labor. How your website looks, graphics, your social media, search engine results when they're looking for you; They must see themselves in what you do. We help our locals put their best foot forward.
