It's Not About Unions; It's About Union Contracts
Our Union stands for the proposition that employees at every workplace deserve the right to negotiate a contract to protect and improve their wages, benefits, working conditions, time off, and protection from unfair discipline or termination.
We live in a time when that proposition is challenged. We must rise to that challenge.
Most importantly, our elected negotiating committees, aided by our officers and attorneys, are negotiating decent new contracts. Most are being approved by overwhelming margins, in secret-ballot voting. This is a time for us all to stand strong for our right to collective bargaining.
It's not about unions; it was never about unions. Rather, it is all about your right to negotiate a contract. Big Business knows the legal power a contract holds, versus a non-union company handbook that can be changed or ignored at will.
It's all about your right to a contract. Stand now, or forever bow.
