THE
UNION
DIFFERENCE
Collective bargaining enables working Americans to come together to improve their hours, wages, benefits, safety, and working conditions. Local 115 will work with members directly to develop and maintain contracts that is for the benefit of the workers – not the bosses.
Union members earn an average of $200 more each week than non-union workers (Source: U.S. Department of Labor, BLS 2020)
Union members are more likely than non-union employees to have access to paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick leave, retirement plans, and affordable medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance.
Safety is among the most important working conditions Local 115 works to protect and improve through collective bargaining.
A written contract – which is approved by secret-ballot vote – is a legal and enforceable agreement protecting wages, benefits, and working conditions. Without a contract, management has the right to change wages, benefits, hours, and working conditions however and whenever it wants.
Local 115 is driven by the voices of members in a variety of workplaces joining together to achieve common goals and greater opportunities to achieve the American Dream..
Local 115 contracts protect economic, racial, and gender equality.
In addition to your contract, Local 115 provides support to members for many of the challenges and difficulties life often presents.
