Organize With Local 30

No. Your right to organize is protected by federal law. If your employer attempts to intimidate, harass, or discipline you for organizing, they could face charges for unfair labor practices.

Nothing. The Local Union covers all costs. You will not pay any dues until you and your co-workers ratify a contract.

You and your co-workers will negotiate a contract that outlines wages, benefits, and working conditions. Nothing changes until you vote to approve that contract.

You and your co-workers do. You'll elect a committee that makes proposals and attends every negotiating session. At least one member from your workplace will be present at all times.

No. Strikes are rare and only happen when the majority of workers vote to authorize one. You and your co-workers always have the final say.

It varies. The sooner we identify strong support, the sooner we can move to a vote. After the election, it typically takes about 18 months to negotiate and ratify a first contract.

You will not pay any dues until your contract is ratified. Once it is ratified, Union dues are 2.5 times your hourly rate, paid monthly. For example, if you make $20.00 per hour, your dues would be $50.00 per month. The initiation fee is waived for newly organized groups.

No. Your dues support day-to-day operations, legal representation, and grievance procedures.
