WHY JOIN THE

IBEW

Why join a Union?

Without a union you have few rights on the job.  You are almost powerless to achieve better wages, improved working conditions and job security for yourself and your family.  When all workers on the job are united and speak with one voice through their union, the contractor must listen and act on the workers demands.

 

So joining a union makes real sense for the unorganized worker.  With prices and taxes rising every year, working people need a union and a collective agreement to protect their living standards.  The strength that comes from unity is a very old and well used concept.

 

Workers need their own organization to promote and advance their interests for the very same reason that businessmen, doctors, lawyers, engineers, and others form associations to promote their interests.  All of these groups recognize the power that comes from joining together to achieve common goals.

 

Over two million workers in Canada and 150,000 in Saskatchewan know it pays to belong to a union.
