Why Should You Have a Union Job?
Have you ever tried to negotiate for a raise or better benefits only to be told no by your supervisor, manager or others in a position of authority? Unions work together to gain higher wages together because groups are more powerful and individuals. Because of the solidarity union’s build, union members usually have much higher wages and much better medical benefits. This helps to fuel the economy because you’ll have more money to spend and more money to put into the local causes, like education, that matter to you.
Unions, like IUPAT, also offer continuing education to ensure that you keep up with the latest techniques and health and safety requirements to keep you on the cutting edge of your trade. We also offer opportunities for political activism as well as volunteerism in our local communities.
