Unions give every member the opportunity to stand up for justice and dignity. It's not just contracts; everyone who works hard for a living should have some power on the job, a way of challenging management without worrying about being fired.
We join together for a voice in the workplace, rights on the job, and to secure a better life for our families and ourselves. Dues provide the resources necessary to run our union.
Your dues pay for:
- Negotiating contracts
- Handling grievances and arbitrations
- Legal representation
- Educating members and shop stewards on how to resolve problems
- Salaries for union organizers and staff, and office expenses
- Shop steward training programs
- Rally and strike expenses
- Communications including our website, the 812 newsletter "The Voice", letters, leaflets and advertisements
We are especially proud of the Local 812 RV, which is used for medical testing, and in assisting shop service and organizing campaigns, while at the same time promoting our union, mission, purpose and our goals for the future.
We don't stop working to make our union stronger. Our contracts set the industry standards for pay, protecting benefits, preserving retirement, and ensuring that Local 812 members have the respect and dignity they deserve.
