For 130 years, the Machinists Union has fought for workers\u2019 rights and benefits.
Pensions, medical insurance, paid vacation, holidays, personal holidays, sick pay, shift differential, etc., are generally not only better in a union shop, many of these don\u2019t even exist without a union contract.
Why the Machinists Union? There is strength in unity \u2013 and the Machinists Union provides workers with a powerful, collective voice to communicate to management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of your specific needs, the union is here to help. Union members:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Earn wages, on average, 26 percent higher than non-union workers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 89 percent of union workers participate in a defined benefit program while 46 percent of nonunion workers participate in a defined benefit plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Are more likely to have employer-provided health insurance benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Have greater access to apprenticeships and training opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019ll find Machinists in Aerospace, Transportation, the Federal Government, Automotive, Defense, Woodworking, and several other industries. We represent workers at companies as diverse as Harley-Davidson, Southwest Airlines, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, Freightliner, Tennessee Valley Authority and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
