The One Hill CBA Campaign was Pittsburgh UNITED's first campaign. The One Hill CBA Coalition, which includes more than 100 organizations and businesses from the Hill District, was organized before Pittsburgh UNITED was up and running.

Simply put, the Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers to once again choose to form unions without the fear of being fired.
Pittsburgh UNITED is part of a national coalition that is working to educate American citizens and policy-makers about this important reform.
