PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
The Union Member’s Responsibility for Productivity

As a union worker, it's important for you to do your job well and be productive. This means:

Doing your tasks quickly and doing them well.
Making sure your work meets the required standards.
Taking responsibility for what you need to do.
Following through on what you've promised.
Talking and working well with others.

It's also important to be open to change and willing to learn and get better. When you're productive and take responsibility, you help your projects be successful and show that you care about your job and your co-workers.
