PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Your Critical Role in Representing the Union

As a union member, it's important to remember that you represent not only yourself, but also the entire organization. This means that how you dress and present yourself on the job site can affect how others view the union and the skilled trades. When you arrive at a job site looking professional and well-groomed, it shows that you are a skilled and trustworthy worker. However, if you arrive looking sloppy or inappropriate, it can reflect badly on the union and the skilled trades as a whole. By making an effort to have a  professional appearance, you help to uphold the reputation of the union and set a good example for other members.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

The Scenario:

Imagine that you are a sheet metal worker at a job site where some architects and engineers will be coming to inspect the project's progress. These clients are important and can bring more business to the company and the union. As a union member, it's your responsibility to represent the union well. This includes not only doing good work but also looking your best.
