What are my rights if I am in a union?
If you are in a union, find out about your rights at work by:
- checking your collective agreement, or
- talking to your union representative.
You usually have to use the grievance procedure in the collective agreement to enforce your rights.
Most workers in Ontario have the right to join or form a union.
The union bargains with the employer to set working conditions for its members, such as wages, hours of work, and overtime pay. This process is called collective bargaining.
