What is Single Step Certification?
The Single Step Certification process is designed to make it easier and faster for employees like you to form a union. Unlike the traditional certification process involving multiple steps, this streamlined approach combines the two steps into one, eliminating the need for a vote or additional verification by the BC LRB.
Here’s why the Single Step Certification process is advantageous for you:
Simplicity and Efficiency: With this process, you only need to demonstrate your support for the union once by signing a confidential Union Application Form. There is no need to go through a separate voting process or wait for additional verification. This saves time and effort for everyone involved, allowing you to establish the union quickly.
Stronger Union Formation: By consolidating the certification steps, the Single Step Certification process helps ensure that a significant percentage of your fellow employees are committed to joining the union. This strengthens the collective voice and bargaining power of the union, leading to better representation and negotiation for your rights and interests.
Timely Union Certification: The streamlined process means that once the union has collected the required level of support of 55% or more, it can promptly submit the application to the BC LRB for certification. Without the delay of a second vote, you can achieve union certification more swiftly, gaining the benefits and protections of union membership sooner.
Support and Expertise: Throughout the Single Step Certification process, you can rely on the guidance and expertise of the Teamsters Union. They will assist you in navigating the process, ensuring that your rights are protected, and advocating for your best interests.
By utilizing the Single Step Certification process, you and your fellow drivers and warehouse employees can join the Teamsters Union more efficiently, allowing you to collectively address workplace concerns, negotiate for better wages and benefits, and secure a stronger future.
YOUR UNION APPLICATION FORM IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL - THE COMPANY WILL NEVER RECEIVE A COPY, ENSURING YOUR ANONYMITY IS PROTECTED.
