When you face a grievance, the union is here to support you every step of the way. They offer guidance on your rights under the collective agreement, assist in gathering evidence, and represent you in discussions with your employer. The union's primary aim is to resolve the issue fairly while upholding your rights and maintaining workplace standards. Union representatives are equipped to negotiate directly with management, file formal grievances when necessary, and advocate on your behalf throughout the entire grievance process, striving for a satisfactory resolution. You can find the Grievance Forms HERE.


Union dues primarily fund essential activities, including negotiating and maintaining collective agreements, providing member services like grievance handling and legal support, supporting organizing efforts and outreach, covering administrative costs, and offering training and educational programs for members. These contributions enable the union to effectively represent and advocate for its members, ensuring workplace protections and promoting collective interests in the labor market.


We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to us via email, send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, or chat with us in person if you see us at work. You can also post on our Facebook page—whatever makes you feel most comfortable. We're here for you!
