Why Join TWU?
Non-union workers today have little or no say over their wages and benefits.
Nor do they have input into what goes on in their workplace. They watch as
management awards themselves high salaries, unending perks and golden
parachutes, while those who actually make the company successful, the
workers, see their wages and benefits stagnate or reduced. With TWU, this
will change. You will have a real say over your own destiny in the future of
your company.
