Labor Unions

When an individual signs a contract with an employer or labor union and is registered in a state in which the apprenticeship will be served, that individual is considered an indentured apprentice. The apprentice agrees to work on the job, only for the employer or labor union and attend related classroom instruction. The employer or labor union agrees to employ the apprentice, so he/she can obtain on the job training (experience) and to provide related classroom instruction so the apprentice can learn the trade. The state regulates the apprenticeships in it's area and issues a certificate of completion if the apprentice completes all the conditions of indenture.

The Coors Brewing Company, the makers of Coors Beer, is not a union company. The last time there was union action was in 1988 when the workers rejected union representation by more than 2:1.

One reason that someone might join a union is to have the benefit of being treated fairly and with respect. Unions support their members and stand behind them with regards to these things. Another reason might be because some unions have clauses that state a union member cannot be laid off.

You are not forced to pay union dues if your dept. is a union dept. You are automatically in the union and the dues are optional. Contact your union rep and tell him to cancell your dues. I don't know what state you are in but in Ks. you are not forced to pay these dues.

It's not hard to join a union.

For most jobs you contact a union organizer to talk about your workplace. If there is interest in joining a union, you get your co-workers to sign membership cards and there will be a vote on joining the union. If a majority of people vote for a union, you are in.

In the building trades:

You have to be chosen for the apprenticeship school of the labor union of your choice, which, is easier for the Laborers International, a general labor union.

All that aside, your first step is to get into an apprenticeship program, which can be found on your state labor website.

The Knights of Labor was an all inclusive labor union that welcomed all, including women and blacks. Formed in the 1880's, they called for the moral uplifting of the working man and an eight hour work day. While its membership burgeoned in the late 1880's, its internal problems of poor organization and management caused it lose membership and eventually end.

Generally, no. Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) between unions and employers address matters of wages/benefits, hours, and working conditions. A grievance process drafted into the CBA will empower a union member to challenge an employer's action, claiming it violates the CBA. Grievances align the union against the employer, not against other union members.

Many states have structured, however, some manner of 'employment relations commission.' These state agencies field complaints filed by union members, claiming that their union has failed to represent their interests, fairly.

how stewards are chosen and removed would depend on which union you are talking about. It is not always done in the same way for each union and I don't know if any unions allow a steward to be voted out.
