SYGMA is pro-colleague and customer, not anti-union.
Welcome

This website is designed as a resource for our colleagues and their families as they consider their options regarding unionization in today's workplace.

The decision of whether or not to be represented by a union is an important one, for many reasons. It's a decision that impacts almost everything in a person's work life – from their take-home pay, to the quality of benefits their family receives, to the culture that exists inside the workplace.

Worries about the future of union-funded pension programs, the financial hardship of being called out on strikes, and the headlines about some unions' spending practices can create a lot of concern.

And unionization is an option that fewer individuals are choosing today. In fact, in the private sector union membership has fallen to only 6%. This means that over 90% of the private sector workers enjoy and value a direct open-door working relationship with their company, able to discuss their pay and benefits directly and work together on changes and improvements without having to pay a union to speak for them.

This open-door relationship is important to us at SYGMA, too.

We believe it is in our colleagues' best interest to communicate directly with us because a union’s involvement often complicates and interferes with the desired free flow of communications with colleagues.

Working directly with our colleagues provides greater opportunities for dialogue and cooperation, gives everyone the freedom to adapt in a rapidly changing competitive landscape, and lets individuals use their own judgment to find solutions for unique circumstances. We believe working together directly gives us an advantage in meeting the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow. 

This website contains a wealth of information, including important facts about required dues, and union rules and regulations. We encourage you to get ALL THE FACTS for yourself and make an informed decision.

Thank you for taking the time to review information on this website. We will add new information from time to time, so please check back for the latest updates.  We are committed to being a source of facts for our colleagues because we want you to make an informed decision. If you have any questions, please ask here; or, reach out to any manager or supervisor and we will be happy to answer any of the questions that you may have.
