This website is provided as a resource for you and your family, as you consider whether or not to support union organizing efforts.

Whether to unionize is an extremely important decision. If voted in, a union would speak for you regarding all terms and conditions of your employment, including:

  •  your current and future pay
  •  the cost and structure of your health and other insurance plans, retirement plan and other benefits you currently enjoy
  • your holidays, vacation and other forms of paid and unpaid leave
  • whether many employment-related decisions are based on your merit, or simply upon your date of service
  • whether you will have union dues deducted from your paycheck, and how much?
  • the potential for strikes and possible permanent replacement during an economic strike
