As the holiday season approaches, many in our community may need a little extra support. If you know someone who could benefit from a helping hand, we invite you to nominate them for one of five Christmas hamper baskets or one of thirty Co-op gift cards, courtesy of the Young Workers Committee and Nursing Care Committee.
Our 2021 SEIU-West Convention is fast approaching. In order to prepare for this Convention, our planning involves both general elections for the positions of President, Treasurer and one (1) Trustee; as well, we will be holding at least five (5) caucus elections for Member at Large positions on the Executive Board.
To facilitate our elections processes, we are looking for three (3) interested members who would be willing to serve on our Elections Committee. The Elections Committee has a staff resource, Karman Kawchuk – Research Coordinator and an ex-officio member, Neil Colmin, our Vice-President. Some of the duties of the Elections Committee include: approval & distribution of candidate campaign material, compiling guidelines for both general/caucus elections, review of any nomination/election challenges, recording names and number of ballots cast for each candidate, working with the Parliamentarian, and providing a final report to the Executive Board. Further information will be provided at the first committee meeting.
If you are interested in serving on the Elections Committee and you will not be running for a position at Convention, please send an email expressing your interest with your name, workplace and cell number to [email protected] before March 1, 2021.

Dear Members,
We want to thank those who were able to come out last week to attend our very successful media event at the Legislature in Regina. It was great to see members from the three Health Care Provider Unions (HPUs) from across the province stand together in solidarity. During Question Period, multiple MLAs asked questions to the Premier and the Minister of Health on our behalf. We were also able to have meetings with the Opposition Caucus and the Minister of Health to address our concerns over the slow pace of bargaining and the state of health care in our province.
