No. A union gives employees a collective voice to balance the power of management, but it still protects every members ability to raise concerns, participate in meetings, vote on contracts, shape priorities, and run for leadership positions.
Rather than facing workplace issues alone, members have access to union representation and a negotiated grievance process that ensures concerns are handled fairly.
No, collective agreements also cover:
- Benefits
- Vacation
- Leaves
- Scheduling
- Overtime
- Job security
- Seniority
- Discipline procedures
- Health and safety
Just as important is having a union in your corner so you have representation throughout the changes that are coming to your workplace.
