Dear Members:
We hope all of you had a nice holiday season and wish you all the best for 2022. Public Health moving the province to a modified Alert Level 4 is not the way we had hoped to start the New Year, but the waves of this virus have proven that we can innovate and persevere to keep people safe and operations functioning.
We are once again asking members to move towards online interaction during this time. The following is an update on our facilities effective Tuesday, January 4th, 2022:
Union Office
The main Union office will remain closed to members and the general public until further notice. Staff will be on-site to maintain business operations. Should public health officials enact an emergency measure to require businesses to close, our business continuity plan will allow for business operations to continue remotely.

- Pay Union Dues
