• Electing local union officials
• Voting on policies and actions of the Union
• Amending by-laws and agreement
• Voting on where and how your union dues get spent
• Voting on which benefits will be improved
• Putting motions forward for the betterment of the Union
• Having a voice in opposing issues that are detrimental to the Union
