Union representatives are at the core of defending workers’ rights. Their role is indispensable in ensuring a fair and respectful work environment where employees’ concerns are heard, and their rights are protected.
At FISA, we understand the importance of these representatives and provide them with ongoing support to carry out their mission with effectiveness and integrity.
Essential missions
Union representatives perform a multifaceted and vital role for workers, particularly in the following areas:
Employee Representation: Union representatives are the voice of employees to the employer. They communicate workers’ concerns, demands, and suggestions, ensuring every employee has a voice.
Rights Protection: In collaboration with their union advisor, representatives monitor compliance with labor laws and collective agreements. They step in when rights may be threatened, ensuring all employees enjoy fair working conditions.
Negotiation with Employers: representatives play a strategic role in negotiating working conditions. They participate in discussions about salaries, workplace safety, and other crucial elements, ensuring workers’ interests are well represented.
The importance of representatives
In a constantly evolving work environment, union representatives are essential to ensuring that workers are not left behind. They create a balance between employers and employees, making sure every worker’s needs and rights are acknowledged.
