Union members had the opportunity to engage with the Public, speaking about the work they do in our communities and the importance of it.
- Social Assistance Casemanagers spoke about the vulnerable community they serve such as the challenges of affording housing with such low income. For example, a single person receives $390.00 per month to pay for rent and bills.
- Child Care Workers spoke about the lack of supports from the Provincial level impacting the worker to child ratio. Children requiring specific resources to build a foundation to succeed in their school journeys fall between the cracks as a result of long waiting times and lack of funding.
- Water and Wastewater Operators spoke about the water privatization: the impacts on the environment, tourist industry, taxpayers, water cost and more.
We are going to continue setting up tables at different venues sharing the love and commitment we have for our jobs and the community we serve.
