MYTHS ABOUT THE UNION

The Union does not want us they just want the Company.

It does not benefit us to organize the company and cut the employees loose. The union has long understood that the only way we can insure decent wages and working conditions for all sheet metal workers, is to manage the supply of skilled manpower.

If the Union comes in they will get rid of us and bring in their own people.

Again this will not benefit us in any way. We want you to become union members and stay employed with your current employer.

If i get laid off in the Union I have to sit on the out of work list and starve:

S.M.W.I.A Members have more employment opportunities that non members. S.M.W.I.A Members have the opportunity to work for all union contractors. S.M.W.I.A Members also have the option of traveling to other local unions for work, through our local to local referral system.

The Company will not be able to compete:

The S.M.W.I.A is commited to organizing all Sheet Metal workers in the province of Ontario. The S.M.W.I.A is currently working on Market recovery programs to keep pur contractors competitive in today’s market. By sticking together as Sheet Metal Workers, and demanding respectable wages and working conditions, we can insure that all contractors are bidding work on a level playing field
