Why unionize?

A union is a democratic tool that allows each member to express their opinions and have a voice concerning their working conditions. In fact, during a union meeting, the members decide on union demands made during the process of negotiation of a collective agreement.

The establishment of a union in the workplace also bring less arbitrary treatment by the employer because the employer must respect pre-negotiated working conditions that are part of a collective agreement.
