Starting a Union: 5 Steps

To start a union, you need someone willing to take the initiative to get the process started and a desire to advocate for change. (For a more detailed overview, click here).

Find Out What’s Involved

Starting a union requires serious commitment and consideration. Know what you’re getting into and what a union can do for you. Having the facts will be important when trying to get your coworkers on board.

Connect with Teamsters 987

Start an Organizing Committee

Team up with like-minded workers who share your desire to unite and fight for your rights. By working together, you can distribute the work and responsibility. You can also ensure that all workers within your facility are heard and that their concerns are addressed. Ideally, all key non-management roles should be represented.

Get an Organizing Petition Signed

You will need to have enough coworkers to sign a confidential document to show you have enough support to hold an official vote to unionize. Teamsters will help.

Hold a Vote

All non-management workers will be allowed to vote by secret ballot. If 50% plus one vote in favour… your shop will be in a legal position to start a union.
