THE COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT Having a collective agreement is the biggest difference between a unionized employee and non-unionized employee. Your collective agreement is a legally binding contract that sets the ground rules for your job on things such as working conditions, pension and benefits, your rights if you receive a lay-off notice, and what you can expect to be paid. <strong>IBEW</strong> Local 37 has worked hard to negotiate meaningful contracts that give members guarantees that cover wages and benefits, and rights and protections that aren't available to non-union workers.
Here are some of the major advantages of being unionized and having a contract: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Respect and fairness on the job Better wage increases Retirement benefits Better schedules More job security More flexibility for work and family needs Safe and healthy work environment A real say in your job On more equal footing with your employer A better economic future Provisions for staffing and overtime Support for continuing education and training Fair and equal treatment Vacations and family leave Equitable promotion and transfer Workable grievance system – 33 –
