ORGANIZE YOUR WORKPLACE

WE CAN HELP YOU

Our Local Union Officers and Executive Board is made up of members elected through a democratic process who come from the general membership of the Local Union.

Local 47 has helped to improve the health and welfare plans for all its members and their families. The Local also strives to promote a safe and healthy work environment.

The negotiation of each production collective agreement is negotiated by members elected from their respective shops with the assistance and guidance of a skilled negotiator. Items to be negotiated are brought forward by the membership as well as by the Union.
