Our Concerns |
Union |
No Union |
Dignity, rights and respect |
Must be given at all times |
Only given if management likes you. |
Wages, benefits, working conditions, layoffs. |
Spelled out in the contract negotiated by employees and company. Layoff processes in place with recall rights. | Decided by management without input or voice of employees. No recall rights. |
Raises |
Will be bargained for everyone and everyone votes. | Up to management. Favoritism plays a role. |
Discipline/Dismissal |
Grievance process and legal assistance. | You are an "AT WILL" employee. Good luck, you are on your own. |
Problems on the Job |
As part of the Union your voice is heard. Grievance process | Company way or the highway. |
Seniority Rights |
Union Contracts give recognition to time of service | No Rights |
Policies and practices |
Spelled out in contract. Consistent | Forever Changing. No input by employees. Easy to get blindsided. |
