Why Join a Union?

Fair pay, better benefits and a voice on the job site are what you receive through your union membership and the hard work of our internally elected leaders and collective bargaining process.

Union members receive the protection of union contracts that safeguard your basic rights. Through collective bargaining, our representatives negotiate to guarantee higher wages, more benefits and safer working conditions than what is offered to our non-union counterparts.

By joining OPCMIA you’re not only setting yourself up for a stable career but lifelong friendships and camaraderie as well. This union is a family, and we support and encourage each other on the job site and off.
