How can I participate in my union? |
Since members are the union in the workplace, you have already begun your participation through
membership in the UTU. Attending local meetings, voting in all elections, and backing up your
Local representatives are just a few of the simple ways you can help. By working on a committee
you will make our local stronger. Our meetings are held the 2nd Tuesday of each month at
9:00am at the Westin Plaza Hotel on SR 19 (Cassopolis Street) and CR 6 (Cleveland Rd.), two
blocks South of the Toll Road.
If you have a greater interest or are dissatisfied with you elected leaders, campaign for that job in
the next election. The dates of these elections are found in the back of the union Constitution you
receive upon joining.
Filing grievances against management for violating the contract are another way of ensuring union
success. Remember, when one worker is injured all are threatened. Proper enforcement of the
collective bargaining agreement ensures that everyone is treated equally under its terms and
conditions.
