Windsor Door Workers Join Us at SMART Local 202

Your Union. Your Voice. Together We Are Stronger

As a union member, you have access to essential protections, better wages, and benefits. Here’s why being part of the union is important:

  1. Job security and protection against unfair treatment.
  2. Collective bargaining power for better wages and working conditions.
  3. Access to health insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits.
  4. Legal support and representation when needed.

Your rights are protected under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and federal labor law. This means the company cannot interfere with your right to organize, join the union, or participate in union activities. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) enforces these protections, ensuring that your employer follows the law.

We are a union made up of many cultures, but we stand united for a common goal: better jobs, better wages, and respect in the workplace. When we come together, we are unstoppable. No matter your background or the language you speak, we are stronger together.

We understand that some of you may be afraid to speak with us, but your conversations with the union are protected and confidential. No one, not even your employer, has the right to interfere with your decision to talk to us.

Union 101

Better Wages and Benefits

You deserve more. We believe you’ve earned and deserve better pay at work, and SMART Local 202 members see and feel the difference in their paychecks every day. By coming together in a union, we gain collective strength and power to negotiate higher wages and better benefits at the bargaining table. Union members on average earn more than our nonunion counterparts.

Workplace Safety & Keeping Workers Safe

Does your workplace feel unsafe? You don’t have to work in danger – you should go to work knowing that you will come home safe at the end of the day. Our collective power allows us to negotiate contracts that have strong and enforceable safety language; in many cases, going beyond what’s in laws and regulations. We strive to protect SMART Local 202 members through training, enforcement and contract negotiations to ensure every member’s safety.

Work-life Balance

Work shouldn’t control our existence. Do you need more predictable hours, better access to education, advancement opportunities or better family leave when needed? When you’re a member of SMART, your contract protects you by clearly spelling out your work hours, training requirements, advancement procedures and how you can take time off. 

You deserve a life outside of work. SMART members have access to discounts on theme park tickets to have some fun, mortgage and real estate services, auto insurance, lower-cost cellular service and so much more! SMART is there for you no matter what part of your life you’re in.

Employee Rights and Workplace Equality

Diversity and inclusion in the workplace – SMART contracts ensure all working people, no matter their race, gender or sexuality, get a fair opportunity in the workplace. Women in unionized workplaces make more than their nonunion counterparts, and transparency in a union contract can prevent discrimination in raises and promotions. Additionally, non-discrimination clauses in contracts ensure that union workers have protections that go beyond what is contained in law.
