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. IBEW 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 –
