We remind you that a union is only as strong as its members. To achieve this goal, we have decided to use this App as a tool for communication between leadership and its members. Sharing information amongst our members is strongly encouraged. This tool will be a pathway for us to be a stronger union. |
TROUBLESHOOTING:

On an Apple phone, They should go to Settings, select Union Strong, go to Notifications, and Allow Notifications. On an Android, the process is a little different. Tap Settings, then Apps & Notifications, then tap Union Strong, and manage from there. |
