WHY JOIN?
1. Strength in Numbers
-
The more members we have when bargaining begins, the greater our strength at the table.
-
But join now, because when a majority of ISU faculty do so, the state labor will certify us as bargaining representative. (Note: a vote will be unnecessary since we will file what is termed a majority interest petition).
-
Dues will not collected until after our state labor board certification, and then after bargaining actually begins.
-
Joining now helps at the state level, where you will add your voice to efforts to hold Springfield accountable.
2. Specific Benefits & Services:
