Benefits of Joining
A STRONGER POSITION WHEN NEGOTIATING FOR WAGES AND BENEFITS
The more members we have, the more influence we’ll have in negotiating a contract.
A VOICE IN YOUR UNION & A VOTE ON CONTRACTS
Our members ARE the union. Union representation helps ensure you’re treated fairly on the job. Backed by a negotiated contract, union workers are protected by a grievance procedure designed to enforce the contract and stop the employer from violating labor laws.
ACCESS TO SPECIAL BENEFITS AND DISCOUNTS
- UnionPlus discounts on phone service, travel and more
- Free membership in the Union Sportsmen's Alliance
AN EMPOWERED VOICE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
As a Boilermaker, the power to make change is in our numbers. By expanding our membership, collectively we send a clear message to the owners that we want a say in our workplace, in our wages, in our benefits, and in our working conditions
A BETTER FUTURE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
The wages, benefits and working conditions you enjoy today were negotiated by the union. They can be taken away if all employees do not stand together in solidarity.
