Electrical workers deserve representation by organizations that put them first. By providing electrical workers with the best working conditions, wages, and benefits, the collective bargaining power provided to those in the electrical industry can strengthen every day.
If you or your spouse are electrical workers consider the following information:
Increased Income
Union workers make $203 more in average weekly income than non-union workers.
Medical Benefits
95% of unionized workers have medical benefits, most of which are paid for by the employer. For non-union workers, just 67% have access to health benefits, which are usually paid for by the employee through check deductions.
Job Security
Unionized workers have their employment protected by procedures and hearings, as opposed to being a non-union worker who is an ‘at-will’ employee, where an employer can fire you for whatever arbitrary reason they choose.
Employee Rights and Contracts
Unionized workers receive contractual obligations that define working conditions, fair rates of pay and future wage increases, defined break periods, holidays, vacations, and overtime pay structures.
Bargaining Power
Union workers receive organized and bargained wages and benefits through a collective negotiation that defines union worker contracts, as opposed to individualized company contracts that benefit the employer in most cases. Take the next step to brighten your future and join an organization that helps you get the best out of your hard work.
