Local 5209 strives to improve the social and economic well-being of all of its members.

Our objectives are to promote equality as well as to secure the best possible pay, benefits, working conditions, job security, pensions and retiree benefits for our members.

We encourage the settlement by negotiation and mediation of all disputes between our members and our employer.

We aim to eliminate harassment and discrimination of any sort and establish strong working relationships with the public we serve and the communities in which we work and live.
