WHY UNION ?

(From the IBEW contact booklet, and the IBEW Fifth District Page)

In union there is strength ! When workers decide to come together as one, 
they effectively give themselves a voice in the workplace---just like the boss has---.
through a guaranteed contractWithout a union, your slice of the job rights pie is very small. 
The only rights you have are statuatory rights such as minimum wage, overtime after 40 hours, 
OSHA requirements and unemployment insurance.

With a union, workers retain their statuatory rights and also numerous other slices of the job
rights pie---guaranteed in a signed IBEW union contract.
