Unionised employment is fundamentally different from employment in a non-union sector.
As a unionised employee, you actually have rights above the legislated minima. In a non-union shop, Employer whims can determine how things happen. In a union shop, a written agreement and a legally-enforceable expectation of reasonable behaviour govern. What follows is how the contract works from prior to the moment of hiring through to getting a job next year. See our compliance policy for details.
