@ A Voice on the Job
Besides increased pay, many workers choose to join a union for job security. Although laws were established to ensure all workers receive a standard set of rights, non-union workers may be hesitant to assert these rights because of their "at-will" employment status. Being an "at-will" employee means you can be fired at any time for any reason or none at all. In many unions, however, the employer must show proof of incompetence or wrongdoing before disciplining an employee. In addition to the above those who work in a "Right-To-Work" state will typically make $5,333/yr less than in free bargaining states.
Union contracts have several more rights that members can enjoy, including:
Protection against being disciplined twice for the same offense, also known as double jeopardy
Representation during an employer investigation and employee appeal
Due process in the administration of discipline and firing
Protection against being required to be a witness against yourself
Objective standards in promotion and discharge decisions
Objective definitions of expertise, merit and productivity
Also, through collective bargaining, workers can hope for basic benefits such as:
Fair compensation
Healthcare and retirement benefits
Fairness in decisions regarding promotion and assignment
The right to privacy in one's personal life and relief from search and seizure of personal effects at work
The ability to file a grievance to settle complaints that the employer has breached or misinterpreted the contract

is When They Vote YES to UNIONIZE!"
