What Benefits Do Members Receive?

Insurance and retirement benefits are among the most significant advantages you receive as a union member. Health insurance is particularly crucial, as a sudden illness or accident without coverage can severely impact your finances potentially depleting your savings and damaging your credit. Such situations can erase years of hard work. Our Health and Wellness plan provides comprehensive coverage for both you and your family, with costs covered by your employer and jointly managed by elected representatives.

Additionally, as a union member, you will have access to Free Training and Skills Upgrades, helping you stay ahead in your field.

Union Membership

As an employee, you are entitled under federal law to form a union, choose your representatives, and engage in collective bargaining with your employer. This process helps to balance the power dynamics between employers and individual employees.

Being part of a union grants you legal protections and rights that are not available to individuals acting alone. Once a union is established, your employer is obligated to negotiate with you regarding wages, hours, and working conditions.

At BAC Local 1 MVD, we are committed to advocating for the best outcomes for our members and their families, encompassing all aspects from compensation to training and retirement.

Know Your Rights

Right now, many rights that working families have in this country are under attack. The AFL-CIO has put together a card with important information for all workers to know their rights if detained by law enforcement for any reason, including by immigration agents.
