Join Us Unions help working men and women make it to the middle class. It's no coincidence that living wage jobs and union membership are the driving forces in our economy. When union membership declines, real wages decline. This adversely affects our communities, our schools and our children's future. That's why organizing is Priority One in the IAM. Organizing brings the benefits of union membership to more working families. Organizing benefits current members, too-- more union members means greater clout at the bargaining table, and a louder voice in our legislative halls. If you work in a non-union shop in California, statistics prove you earn less money and have fewer benefits than union workers. That's because unions provide a balance of power between employees and their employers. Union members make more money because they negotiate the terms and conditions of their employment at the bargaining table. Non-union employees earn less because employers don't have to give them any more than they want to. There's strength in numbers, and it's obvious who employers are more inclined to listen to. Without a union, you have no role in decision making process regarding your wages, benefits and working conditions. How much more would you have made last year if you were covered by a union contract? Everybody deserves health and welfare benefits, dignity and respect, job security, safe working conditions, overtime pay, and secure retirement plans. But the only way to achieve these things is through collective bargaining. The District 725 Organizing Department can help: |
