Benefits of Union Membership

The surveyors are members of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 12.
Joining a union has many advantages to you. You will be working under an agreement which guarantees your hourly wage, provides
for periodic wage increases, provides a pension fund for you, provides hospitalization, medical, dental, eye care and life
insurance for you and your dependents. The agreement also provides for paid holidays, paid vacations, a grievance procedure
for resolving any disputes, and outlines the working conditions under which you will be employed. The employers and the Union
representing the workers in the survey industry have agreed upon these terms, the best in the nation for surveyors, so that the
industry can attract, train and retain the best qualified most productive workers available.
