KNOW YOU RIGHTS-WAGES

7/29/2019

Union members have specific rights on the job that are spelled out in your contract.  You also have rights that are protections in state and federal law.  Having a Union makes a difference. On average, Union members earn about 20% more in wages than non-union members.  Because each contract can be different, a member should read their contract to find out about wages.  (To receive a copy of your Union contract, contact your Shop Steward or call the Union office at 258-1496 or 1-800-478-1496 - Fairbanks 456-6571.)  Wages are one part of an overall package for many Union members including:  Health care coverage, retirement, vacation, paid holidays, and sick leave.  The industries in the state and national economy that have the most "Union Density" percentage of Union members in a particular workforce tend to have a stronger ability to bargain for higher wages and benefits.  Organizing new work sites and new workers not only helps those particular workers get better wages, it especially helps all Union members.  Make sure you check your paycheck.  If you feel that you have missed a pay raise, not been paid for time worked, not been paid properly for holiday time, etc, contact your Union Representative.
