Ahead of Labour Day, a new survey from the Angus Reid Institute has found that Canadians are divided on the value and cost of organized labour in the country.
Most workers said union membership has been a plus. Roughly 62 per cent of members of public sector unions and 63 per cent of members of private sector unions indicated that they’re satisfied with the representation they receive. Half as many said they’re dissatisfied.
Of those who spoke to a representative, 30 per cent said they felt totally supported during this process, 38 per cent said they felt mostly supported and 33 per cent said their representative made them feel unsupported. Approximately one-in-five union members surveyed said they receive a huge benefit in return for their membership dues, while closer to two-in-five said this is more of a benefit than cost.
The survey notes that women are more likely than men to say they do not receive enough benefit for the cost associated with union membership .The survey also asked participants how they felt about the power of organized labour in Canada., resulting in more than 5.1 million lost work days — the most lost work days in a three-year period since 2003-05.
