WHY ORGANIZE?

Employees have many different reasons for wanting to organize a union in their workplace.  These reasons are typically rooted in the relationship that is occurring on a daily basis at their place of work.  However, most are in the following categories:

• To have a voice in your wages, benefits and working conditions.
• To define the terms of your employment in a legal, binding, written contract.
• To ensure fair and consistent policies for everyone.
• To provide job security and protection of your rights.
• To create a safe workplace or resolve unsafe working conditions.
