The employer is required to schedule the 8 hour shifts before the 7 hour shifts, then downward to the minimum 4 hour shifts. With a Union contract, all shifts must be offered and assigned to you based on your seniority. Our benefit plans are jointly trusteed with representatives from the Union and management, and provide a healthy level of benefits when they are needed. As a Union member, your rights under a contract are enforced through the grievance procedure. Union representatives will assist you in resolving any dispute or disagreement you may have in a Unionized workplace.
Any discipline can only be for just and reasonable cause.
When deciding whether or not to join a Union, it is important to base your decision on the facts. This web site will help to answer some common questions that are asked during an organizing campaign.
