We’ve created this website to provide you with facts about unionization. We encourage you to use the same scientific curiosity you would use on any mission or project as you consider whether a union is right for you and JPL.

Understanding your legal rights is the first step in making an informed, educated decision about unionization and how it might impact you.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory is committed to building and maintaining an environment that encourages collaboration between employees and leaders to support our shared mission – to lead in space exploration and earth-science advancement. Mission success requires scientific curiosity, internal cohesion, rapid decision-making, and a nimble workforce.
A union’s first step in recruiting new members is to get employees to demonstrate their support, typically by signing union authorization cards or petitions or clicking “agree” to an online solicitation.
