From the early part of the 20th century, unions have been a positive force in America. Unions have helped to bring about better working conditions, better wages, and a better future for millions of Americans.
At the LDC of Philadelphia and vicinity, we strive to advance that tradition. When you unionize, you realize your contributions are making America better for all. Unionization also ensures that we as laborers remain competitive in our diverse industries. Laborers have gained the reputation of being among the most dependable, skilled, and qualified workers on the job—whatever that job may be. Unions also have some of the best trained, most productive and safest workers in the industry. In short, when you unionize, you get a highly effective work force that is dedicated to improving your bottom line.
There are many reasons why unionization is beneficial in the workplace:
-
Unions are a political forum for working people
-
Unions fight for social justice
-
Unions bargain for income security
-
Unions provide workers with a greater voice in the work place
Through the union, workers are able to bargain collectively with management and reach agreements about pay, benefits, hours, job security, job safety, and other working conditions.
