PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Productivity Keeps the Union Competitive

Being productive is very important in a union because it helps the organization to succeed. When members are productive, they can get more work done in less time, which allows the organization to take on more projects and complete them quickly. This makes more money for the union. If members are not productive, it will take longer to complete projects, which will cost the union more money and make it harder for them to win new projects. Being productive helps the union to stay competitive, which is important for the success of the organization and its members.
