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.
