PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Result of a Good Work Ethic

When a worker doesn't show up for his shift, it can be a problem. This is especially true for skilled workers. If a worker isn't there, it can make the job take longer and cost more money for the company. This can be bad for the company's profits and make it harder to do well in the industry. This can also affect the union that the worker belongs to, since the union's success depends on the success of its contractors.

That's why it's important for new workers to understand why it's necessary to have a good work ethic and show up to work on time. A work ethic is a person's own ideas about what's right and wrong to do at work. It's what they believe and how they act. When someone is dependable and professional, they can help the contractor they work for do well and stay competitive. This is good for everyone, including the worker, the union, and the contractor.
