For example, there’s the importance of a Health and Safety Welfare plan when you have children, and a Pension Plan for your retirement years. Safety at the work site is also critically important. Unions are always working on ways to make the workplace safer. All these benefits are important, but the one that stands out is the benefit of belonging.
