$$$ What You Get For The Money $$$
Your Union dues allow the Union to provide you with a number of
services and benefits not available to non-union workers. One of
these services is the ability to challenge management when you
believe you have been treated unfairly. Union dues pay the salaries
of your dedicated Union Officers who lead the fight against the
Authority when you file a grievance. If your grievance goes to
arbitration, your dues also pay for the lawyers to defend your case
against the Authority – thousands of dollars can go into fighting a
single arbitration case! Fortunately, many of the cases are settled
before they get to arbitration - and quite a few are settled favorably
at the Union level. Without the Union, and the services your dues
pay for, you would have no recourse when management makes
mistakes.
We were in attendance for a
Shop Steward Training on Feb 27, 2010.
It was a great training and well needed for us to have the opportunity to attend.
Here are some photos of the traning.
