ORGANIZING CORNER

ORGANIZING

Our Goal is to improve the lives of our union members and the health of the communities they live in.     We service our members’ needs by negotiating and enforcing good Collective Agreements for their workplaces but also by fighting inequality, fighting discrimination and by fighting for dignity. We know we make a difference because we negotiate with employers in almost every sector of the economy. We want you to become union members and stay employed with your current employer.

MYTHS ABOUT THE UNION

The Union does not want us they just want the Company. The union only wants your  money (union dues)   It does not benefit us to organize the company and cut jobs and benefits or close the doors the employees loose. The union has long understood that the only way we can insure decent wages and working conditions for all UNION workers, is to Threaten a strike.  If the Union comes in they will get rid of us and bring in their own people.   Again this will not benefit us in anyway.
