MORE ABOUT YOUR UNION The following section provides you with additional information we think will help you get to know your union even better. THE UNION ADVANTAGE One of the best things about your job is that you're now part of a union family of employees who belong to <strong>IBEW</strong> Local 37. By working together, union members can negotiate with employers from a position of strength and cooperation to improve working conditions and the standard of living. Because of unions, workers today (unionized or not) enjoy things like paid vacation time, civic holidays, maternity leave, the eight-hour workday, the weekend, health and safety laws, among many other very important professional and social advancements. – 18 –
Unions are the voice for the millions of working people and their families. They are committed to making a positive difference by doing things like lobbying government for health and safety laws to protect people from workplace injuries; campaigning for pay equity, retirement income, and fair treatment; and standing strong to protect the wages and benefits that they fought for decades to achieve. Together, as a union, we've been able to accomplish much more for ourselves and our families than we ever could have on our own. Together, we can improve both the quality of services we provide, and the communities in which we live. Without a union, employees are left to resolve issues and negotiate with their employer alone. With <strong>IBEW</strong> Local 37, members work together to support each other, improve working conditions through negotiations, and ensure everyone is treated with respect and dignity in a safe work environment. Sound pretty good? It is. – 19 –
