Stubbs Printing Moving to New Home
Stubbs Printing also happens to be the only union print shop “between Plattsburgh and Syracuse. It gives us a chance to support local labor,” Mr. Stubbs said. The union insignia is a valuable emblem to print on orders, Mr. Stubbs said. He recalled a politician getting campaign materials printed elsewhere, then coming to Stubbs Printing for help after people questioned why he had used a non-union printer. “He wanted me to put the logo on what he had already printed,” Mr. Stubbs said, but he explained to the prospective customer that it was something he would not do.

HOW YOU AND YOUR COWORKERS CAN BENEFIT FROM OUR UNION

Union Plus Program: The AFL-CIO supports a benefits program for all union members which includes a union credit card, loan program, motor club, dental program, ear care plan, etc.

Negotiated Pension Plan: Begun in 1967, the Plan now has over 750 participating employers, pays benefits to more than 22,000 participants and has over $900 million in assets.

Wages: Studies have shown union wages to be 20-30 percent higher than non-union pay.

Contract benefits: Union workers generally receive more and better fringe benefits- paid leave, life and heath insurance, retirement savings and pensions, etc.

Job security: most contracts secure against arbitrary transfers, demotions and unreasonable schedule changes.

LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL

Find a CWA Printer          Find an Allied Printer

Look for the familiar printing “bug” The bug guarantees that the men and women who work on your printed materials receive decent wages and benefits in plants which practice responsible labor-management relations. When you patronize union plants you are helping to maintain the union advantage in the printing industry.
