To fully participate in the union, you must be a member in good standing. Being a member in good standing gives you a say in how your union is run. Only members in good standing can attend and vote at union meetings, run for elected union positions, vote in union elections or serve as delegates to union events.

How it works: your union and you

Unions represent employees whose positions are covered by a collective agreement.

Collective agreements govern employees’ wages, benefits and working conditions.

The union negotiates collective agreements with the employer and represents employees when the collective agreement has been violated.

Members in good standing determine our union’s actions and priorities. Our union is strengthened by the full participation of all workers.
