The Unionization Process
We’re with you all the way
Alberta law says that as soon as 40% of a company’s employees within a union Local’s jurisdiction sign union cards, a formal vote on whether or not to unionize must be held. During and after this voting process, the law protects you from negative action by your employer.
The way this process usually begins is that anywhere from just 1 to a small group of employees call us, have a short chat, and then meet with our Organizers.
We’ll be honest – it takes a bit of courage and determination to be part of an ‘organizing drive’ within a company. But the payoff for success is huge. Our pay levels, vacation time, health and welfare benefits and pension plan are industry-best (some employers provide their own benefit and pension plans)…you’ll never be sorry you took that first step and called or emailed us.
