Need a Shop Steward?

Having trouble at work? Looking for someone to talk through an issue with or who can answer your questions about the Collective Agreement? Shop Stewards are trained volunteers who act on behalf of members in the workplace. They're your first stop when you're looking for answers or when something doesn't feel right on the job.

Consider taking on the role of union representative yourself. Becoming a workplace advocate is a powerful way to support your colleagues and build a stronger union.

What matters to YOU?

Do you value strong union representation in the workplace - a Shop Steward available to you when you need help?  Is it important to have workers involved in decisions around your health and safety on the job? How about making sure there's a strong bargaining team, ready to take the needs of workers to the employer at the bargaining table?

Every one of these critical issues requires a committed and active local in your workplace. Without that, there is no collective strength, no unity, and no solidarity. Employers love when that happens - when the union presence in a workplace is weakened and diminished through exhaustion, overwork and burnout.

Let's not let that happen. Let's rebuild our Local together! Attend Local meetings by zoom or by phone.

Union Win for Y025 Members

The Hospital Corporation recently agreed with the Union that under Article 25.06 of your collective agreement, members of the WGH (Yukon Hospital Corporation) bargaining unit, are entitled to a minimum of 4 hours of reporting pay even in circumstances where there is less than 4 hours of work needed. This includes a minimum payment of 4 hours at the applicable overtime rate if asked to report on a day of rest. This exceeds the minimum legislative requirements of the Employment Standards Act which sets reporting pay at 3 hours. Being a union member has benefits!
