Political Action & Awareness

Are you wondering why politics is important to your Union?

Whether it is a municipal, provincial or federal election, the people we elect to lead our towns, cities, province or country can greatly affect us as working people.

For instance, the federal government decides how much money in their budget will be allotted to the provinces for health care and education. The amount they give affects our provincial budget.

The provincial government will then have to fund the remainder of the health care budget, which directly affects us as workers.

Benefits we enjoy in our Collective Agreement are funded through the health care budget.
