The Union Behind PA Dining Workers United is a Sinking Ship
The Workers United Pennsylvania Joint Board has seen membership and revenue plummet. Now, the union is desperate to organize dining workers to boost its numbers and its bottom line.
Members Are Dissatisfied With Their Representation
PA Dining Workers United is a campaign of the Workers United Pennsylvania Joint Board (PAJB). PAJB’s membership has been on a steady decline since its peak in 2000, and Dining Workers United is the latest attempt by PAJB to bring in enough dues dollars to keep its top staff paid.

Many members of PAJB are unhappy with their union representation, and report that their workplaces are either the same or even worse after they unionized. Some feel like they were victims of a bait-and-switch by the union and are losing money overall due to their union dues payments.
Why Are Members So Unhappy With PAJB?
Financial Failings
Only one third of PAJB’s money goes to representation.
Leadership Red Flags
PAJB’s organizers have a history of concerning behavior and statements.
Member Hardship
