Yesterday, passionate members represented HEU at Labour Day events across the province.

Labour Day is a day to celebrate the power of solidarity and the workers who stood together to win better wages, safer workplaces, stronger rights and a better future for everyone. It's also a day we recognize the important work our members do that helps keep our health care system running!

A big thank you to everyone who volunteered their time at an event, and thank you to everyone who came out to join in the festivities!
