Why Should You Join The Union?
To start off, the Union belongs to its members which means you have a say in the way our organization operates. Our leaders are made up of your peers and elected from within our ranks. This means that your representatives understand the ins and outs of this trade and the issues that matter most to you as a member of OPCMIA Local 72 because they have been where you are and done the work as well.
Union members have the protection of a union contract with basic rights that include but are not limited to: Improved job conditions, the right to a fair hearing and the ability to speak out for yourself and fellow workers on work-related issues to name a few. Our representatives are committed to negotiating better wages, benefits and conditions for you as the member. They do this through collective bargaining of our own contracts. They are able to bargain and negotiate benefits like, health and welfare to protect you and your family when you are sick or injured, dental and vision benefits, a pension benefit to help you live out your golden years upon retirement & normal working hours, shift work, overtime and travel pay. We bargain for our members to have safer job conditions and enhanced health and safety programs that can help you prevent on-the-job injuries.
With the many OPCMIA Local Unions all over the United States and Canada you have the ability to move knowing there will be a union you can transfer or travel into for work that will also have your best interests.
