Member Toolbox

As a USJE member, you have two tools at your disposal to better understand your union, our USJE Member Handbook and this Toolbox.

The handbook is meant to be your very first introduction to our union. It covers the basics - what we offer and how you can get involved. Once you've reviewed the handbook and want to know more, it's time for our Toolkit. Alternately, if you have a question that is more in-depth than what the Handbook covers, then the Toolbox is for you!

You can click on the below titles to head to that section.
