Questions and Answers About Joining a Union     How Our Dues Work For Us    

Union Workplace:
  • Your wages, benefits and working conditions are protected by a legal contract
  • The contract guarantees equal pay for equal work.
  • The union negotiates raises for everyone. The employees vote on the settlement. If you don’t think it is a fair settlement, you can vote it down.
  • If you are unfairly disciplined, the union will defend you.
  • If you do a good job and are in line for a promotion, you will get it.
  • If you don’t like something at work, you can change it.
  • Vacations, shifts, and other choices are based on seniority, not favoritism.
Non-Union Workplace:
  • Management can change wages, benefits, or working conditions whenever they want.
  • You can’t compare salaries because no one knows how much anyone else earns.
  • If you want a raise you have to hope for it, or become the boss’s “favorite”.
  • If you are disciplined for something you didn’t do, you’re on your own.
  • Promotion can be handed out on any basis-friendship, loyalty, favoritism, etc.
  • If you don’t like something at work, you suffer silently or you can quit.
  • Vacations and shifts are scheduled for management convenience, not the employee’s.
