Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of unionizing and joining IAM?
The job of our union is to negotiate on your behalf for better wages and benefits through a legal and binding contract. We then enforce that contract and represent you if you encounter day-to-day problems with your employer.
Unionizing with IAM gives you and your co-workers the collective strength to ensure both a decent contract and fair treatment on the job.
Your right to join or form a union is guaranteed by law under the Labour Relations Act.
How do I join IAM?
The process of organizing can be intimidating if you don’t know what to expect, and many employers will resist employee organization efforts.
It’s important to remember that it is your LEGAL RIGHT to join a union.
The first step in unionizing is for 50% of the workers in your facility to sign membership cards. Once a sufficient number of cards are signed, there is usually a vote conducted at your workplace by the Labour Relations Board.
IAM’s Union Organizing Department, with its experienced and motivated staff, will be there every step of the way to successfully lead you through the process.
