Creating a Strong Union "We must stand together; if we don't, there will be no victory for any of us." — Mother Jones Why Join A Union?
A union is created when employees come together to try to improve their working conditions and pay. Unions are not imposed by some outside "third-party," as anti-union employers would like you to believe. A union exists only when a majority of workers vote for it in a secret ballot election. Our ranks are growing as more and more workers realize the benefit of being part of a union. Everywhere, according to the latest reports and statistics, workers and professional associations are joining large labor unions to help protect their jobs, their rights and benefits and improve working conditions. Employers know that with a union, workers gain the power to make them heard. That's why an employer will go to great lengths to try to divide us — by the kind of work we do or who we happen to know in management. Or by age, gender, race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, physical conditions or anything else they can think of. Why? Because when we stand united, we have more strength. Strength to win good contracts and better benefits and working conditions. To fight for better laws, and to gain dignity and respect on the job. In fact, the only way to gain a voice on our jobs and gain real, positive changes in the workplace is to get it in writing - in a legally binding Teamster contract. As a member of the Local 237 IBT, you are among the ranks of the largest and most powerful union in the country — with the strength of 1.4 million Teamster working men and women and 400,000 retirees and their families behind you.
