🤔 Union FAQs Part I: What You Need to Know!1. What is a union?A union is an organization that represents the collective interests of workers. It negotiates with employers on behalf of its members to secure better wages, benefits, and working conditions.2. Why should I join a union?Joining a union gives you a collective voice in the workplace. It helps ensure fair treatment, improves job security, and provides access to better benefits and resources.3. How does collective bargaining work?Collective bargaining is the process where with the support of union representatives, employees negotiate terms and conditions of employment with employers. This includes discussions on wages, benefits, working conditions, and other employment terms.4. Will joining a union cost me money?There is no cost to try and organize your workplace. While it is true that members pay union dues, these dues are not paid by newly organized members until we have successfully negotiated a collective agreement that you and your coworkers vote in favour of accepting. Dues are typically around 1.4% of earnings so the only way you can be at a financial loss for joining a union is if you were to vote to accept a contract with a less than 1.4% immediate increase. While we cannot guarantee what kinds of raises you would receive in your first contract as that all has to be negotiated, we can guarantee that no new group of employees represented by Teamsters 987 have received a wage increase of less than 1.4% in their first collective agreement. Typically the average first year increases have been in the 3-10% range.Stay tuned for part II coming soon and if you have any questions, please reach out and let us help answer them!#unionfaqs #Teamsters987 #workersrights #CollectiveStrength #empowerment
