The History Of Labor Unions
Unions have a long tradition of using collective bargaining to promote workers’ rights, increase their benefits, and improve working conditions. As an important part of many collective bargaining agreements, unions often represent individual workers directly when they make claims for benefits or are involved in disputes regarding benefits, in employee discipline matters, and other situations.
Unions have also been influential in shaping employment law and improving labor relations generally. They have fostered community spirit among workers and built bonds between labor and management in many different industries.
The Benefit Of Belonging To A Labor Union If You Are Injured
A union representative can be a strong asset when a worker needs to file a claim for benefits. A labor union rep can inform you about supplemental benefits your union or employer may offer and how to apply for them. A union rep may also be able to help you find witnesses and collect evidence that will strengthen your case.
Our firm has long seen the advantage of dealing with these dedicated union personnel. Just as we are, union reps are committed to helping disabled employees obtain the benefits they are entitled to, ensuring they keep their jobs while they recover, and assisting them when they return to work.
A good union rep understands the worker’s needs and can sympathize with what they are going through. Your union rep is here to represent your interests and to ensure you are treated fairly – just like we are.
One of the greatest assets of a labor union is the feeling of camaraderie and the benefit of strength in numbers. If you have the choice to join a labor union, our attorneys feel that it is always to your benefit to do so.
