But what does it mean in being a member of JALGO
It means becoming a part of something greater that seeks to protect, not only your rights, but the rights of thousands of Jamaicans employed in the various sectors that we represent.
Since its founding in 1940, JALGO has been a steadfast advocate for workers’ rights, playing a pivotal role in advancing fair and equitable labour standards. While significant progress has been made, there is still important work to be done. Your membership is vital to this ongoing effort.
Joining a trade union is one of the most impactful decisions you can make in your professional journey. At JALGO, our mission is guided by the principles of decent work—fair wages, safe working conditions, social protection, and respect for workers’ rights. These core values are essential to building a more equal and just society
Being a member of JALGO means you are able to benefit greatly in a number of areas. These mainly include efficient and effective representation through solid collective bargaining agreements to cover wages and other benefits.
In terms of other benefits, JALGO has inked agreements as it relates to the education and training of our members. Through a pool of funds that come through the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions, members have been able to further their education during their time in the various organisations where they are employed.
We are party to agreements as it relates to housing through the various government agencies so that our members can access affordable housing solutions.
