To this question, which any worker or pensioner might ask, we will try to provide some answers that highlight the "benefits" of joining a union, and the CISL in particular.
Because unity is strength
A worker or retiree is unlikely to achieve wage and regulatory improvements alone. For this reason, since the last century, workers have begun to unite, organizing themselves into unions, to improve working and living conditions.
Because you find the right answer to your problem
Today, the union has organized a series of services to address the problems faced by workers and retirees. By joining the CISL through the Service System, every member can find a concrete solution to their problem, thanks to the expertise and professionalism of its operators.
Lest we forget those who have less
Although the union gains of recent years have significantly improved the working and living conditions of workers and retirees, exploitation, hardship, and marginalization still exist in our society. Supporting the CISL also means showing solidarity with those in need.
Because we depend only on our members
To carry out all its activities, the CISL is funded exclusively by the contributions of its members and relies on the work of thousands of volunteers. Therefore, the CISL is autonomous and independent from the state, politics, and sponsors.
Because you save money
Joining CISL is also financially advantageous. Some memberships are offered free of charge only to members, while others charge a different fee than non-members. Regarding agreements, taking advantage of our organization's membership structure, we can establish agreements with companies and businesses that provide direct benefits to members.
Membership in the CISL is free and voluntary.
Membership can be activated and cancelled at any time of the year. Belonging to the CISL, through a proxy and membership card, means being a member of a large and diverse organization that raises over four million donations nationwide.
It means giving strength to one's own reasons and to the defense of workers' interests.
It means participating directly in company policies by electing your own representatives in the workplace.
Every CISL member is the owner and beneficiary of contractual gains, individual and collective protection, including through CISL services.
By joining CISL, every member can find a concrete solution to their problems through the Service System. Some services are offered free of charge only to members, while others are subject to a different cost compared to non-members.
