- I am not getting fair wages for my industry.
- I haven’t had a raise for a very long time.
- The company is performing very well yet employees are not currently sharing in the profits.
- I feel insecure in my job even though I am a good worker. There are too many layoffs/firings for no good reason.
- I am in a dead-end job with no chance for advancement.
- My benefits (pension, health care, sick leave) have not improved in years (or I don’t have any benefits at all).
- There is too much favouritism in my workplace.
- I am not sure my workplace is a safe place to be. There are workplace hazards the employer refuses to address.

Absolutely! Joining a union is the right of every Canadian and is enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms under Freedom of Association.
What happens when you join a union?
When you join a union, it means your collective voice in your workplace will be heard by the employer. MoveUP will negotiate improvements in your rights and entitlements and advocate for you when issues arise.
