About Us
We provide all necessary assistance, and guidance to our local unions and their members, to the end that all these members may share in the benefits resulting from employment under the terms of signed collective bargaining agreements which provide:
- above average compensation for services performed
- shorter hours of employment and premium pay for overtime and holiday work
- the maximum possible job security and assurance of advancement opportunities at their workplace
- above average annual paid vacation and sick leave allowance sufficient to meet all normal circumstances
- equitable grievance handling procedures and other employment protection
It is also the purpose and aim of the Council to inform, advise and educate workers in the principles and policies of this Union and of the benefits and gains which they may achieve through organization and collective bargaining; and of the accomplishments of our organized members through an understanding of the growth and development of the labour movement and its position in our modern economic society, and to place in proper perspective the vital role played by working people in the economy of our society.
