1.         By being a good union member, you are actually helping yourself.

3.         You will win the respect of others.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIESBecause YOU are the union member, you have many advantages and privileges.  However, every mature individual knows that privileges means responsibilities.

Your duties to your union are as follows:

Practice as well as preach unionism.

Your demands should be fair.

Judge you fellow workers by their actions, not their color, creed, or religion.

Cooperate with your union representatives by giving them ALL the facts concerning a grievance.

Support your leadership by never doing anything that will lose respect for your union.

We cannot expect cooperation from the management unless we ourselves are unified, and all are willing to do their part.
