Find Your Metal Trades Council and Get Involved Today!
It’s your right to join a Union
Did you know that you can’t vote on your collective bargaining agreement if you aren’t a member of your union? That means, you don’t get a say in your workplace rights and benefits. But, if you join, your voice is amplified by the collective power of your union and the Metal Trades Council.
As a union member, you have a greater influence on the quality and integrity of your work. Your union contract outlines your rights and protects you from arbitrary management decisions.
Your local union and Metal Trades Council have your back!
We need you to join your local trade union, attend meetings, and actively participate in your Metal Trades Council because, collectively, we are stronger.
We are Stronger Together
Metal Trades Councils are made up of local unions who work together under the umbrella of the Metal Trades Department (MTD) to negotiate and enforce collective bargaining agreements. That collaboration helps ensure that our represented trades get the respect they deserve, fair pay and benefits, safe work environments, and a voice on the job. Together we are stronger!
