For me, my Union has helped represent and make me feel safe with equitable workplaces (at home & on-site) while giving me a collective voice to address workplace injustices without the fear of retaliation. With the pandemic and protests for equal rights at its peak in 2020, Unions have showed up to fight for social & economic justice and are constantly striving to vanquish oppression in all its forms. No worker should feel like their livelihoods are at risk, especially during this unprecedented time. Stay informed and look to see how your Union can help represent your voice & needs!

As a dual career worker (Registered Nurse & Photographer/Creator) living during a pandemic, being represented by a Union couldn’t be more crucial than right at this very moment!👩🏻‍⚕️🦠🩺📸💻 In general, unions strive to ensure all working people are treated fairly, with decent paychecks and benefits, safe jobs, dignity, and equal opportunities. Now more than ever during the covid-19 pandemic, Unions have shown up for their workers. This crisis has exposed the shortcomings of our worker protection and health care systems. Unions have shown that we cannot afford to allow cost considerations to discourage workers from taking the necessary action to protect public health. Workers should not incur additional costs for doing what is recommended or required, including staying home from work or getting the tests and treatments they need. 💸⚖️💪🏽  For me, my Union has helped represent and make me feel safe with equitable workplaces (at home & on-site) while giving me a collective voice to address workplace injustices without the fear of retaliation.
