Why a Union?
Why organize a union?
Nobody should have to put up with unfair treatment but standing up to management on your own can be difficult. Without a union, management can treat employees arbitrarily. When you and your co-workers come together to form a union, you can protect and improve your wages, benefits and working conditions – by negotiating a contract as a union. If there is a problem at work or improvements you want to see made, your union will have your back.
Workers in a union benefit from:
A voice at workUnionized workers have a say about their working conditions and can negotiate improvements. | Enforceable contractUnionized workers have a legal contract that protects their wages, benefits and conditions at work. | AccountabilityWorkers in a union have access to formal procedures and resources to dispute unfair treatment. | Collective powerThere’s strength in numbers. Unions level the playing field, providing workers with an equal voice to management. |
