together to discuss the issue. Under
the law, once union members raise an
issue with management, they are given
extra protection and the employer
can't legally retaliate.
The union can also facilitate the
creation of labor-management committees.
Instead of waiting until a problem
arises, members of a unit have regular
meetings with employers, keeping lines
of communication open. This lets the
two groups continually work on solutions
before they become crises and it gives
members control of their workplaces.
Having control of working conditions
is what being a member of the union is
all about, and it's through the power of
collective bargaining that members are
able to negotiate equitable arrangements
with employers. But in a world with
rapidly changing technology that's having
a major impact on the workplace, being a
member is just the start. Your union works
for you, but it works best when you stay
connected, informed and involved.
