THE
TRUTH ABOUT UNIONS |
Becoming
a union member is the best way you can improve your
life and your family's future. Unions are workers helping
workers to:
- Improve
wages, benefits, and working conditions:
- Have
an independent voice at work: and
- Be
treated with dignity and respect.

|
YOUR
UNION DUES WORK FOR YOU |
Your union dues pay for:
- Union representatives
who visit your workplace and make sure you are
being treated fairly and that your legal rights
are upheld:
- Special discount programs
and services only for members:
- Organizing to protect
union jobs; and
- Experts who voice your
concerns to state and national legislators on
issues of concern to working families.

HOW
THE UFCW CAN HELP YOU |
The U.S. government
says you have the legal right to join a union or help
organize a union where you work.
The more workers
join together to fight for their rights, the more management
listens to what they have to say.
Only union members
can participate in negotiations and vote on union contracts.
The more you and
your co-workers are involved in the union, the more
everyone gains - better wages, better working conditions,
and better benefits.
|

CAN YOU DO

UFCW and ask your co-workers to

Union
members earn substantially more than comparable nonunion
workers.
The
small amount you pay in dues brings large rewards not
just in your paycheck but also in your benefits and
working conditions.

A UNION
CONTRACT MAKES YOUR LIFE BETTER
|
|
The
UFCW strongly believes that workers should
have a voice in their jobs. The only way
to have a true voice in your workplace is
to have a union contract. Unions negotiate
for:
- Wages increases
- Safe conditions
on the job
- Employer-paid
health insurance including vision,
dental, and prescription drugs
- Reasonable
line speeds and workload requirements
- Job security
and seniority rights
- Pensions
- Paid Holidays
and vacations
- Opportunities
for advancement and
- Protection
from unfair treatment and favoritism
by the boss.
