Welcome to YVL: A Guide for New Union Members
Welcome to the team! Starting a new job is a whirlwind of stats, software, and new relationships. Here is what you need to know as a member of Local 848.
1. Your Probationary Period
Check the CBA [Article 14] regarding your probationary status. While you are learning the ropes, you still have the right to a safe workplace and fair treatment.
2. Bonding with Management
It is great to have a positive relationship with your supervisor. A Union doesn't replace that relationship; it just ensures that the “rules” of your job are transparent and consistent for everyone.
4. Training is a Right
As you learn the YVL systems, remember: if you feel you haven't been given the tools or training to do a task, ask for it in writing. We are here to help each other succeed, not just “get by.”
