No matter what the situation is I can call our Member Service Centre, and they will always direct me to the appropriate person or department. During COVID-19, they have been very helpful with all my health and safety inquiries.
My workplace joining the SEIU Healthcare was the best thing that happened to all of us! They help with job security, seniority, and provide us with fair representation. We no longer feared termination and knew we had a voice at not only the employer’s table, but at all levels of government.
SEIU Healthcare has achieved better wages and given us access to a pension at our workplace. They continue to educate us on our rights and show us how powerful we are when we stand in solidarity.
The union played a major role in securing a position in the orthopedic clinic on the emergency floor by highlighting my seniority. Today, I am told that I have mastered orthopedic skills and I am great mentor for those entering the profession.
I attended the weekend leadership academy, where I met our Nursing Division President, Jackie Walker. She motivated me and my interest in the union grew. I loved being an active member and I participate whenever I can. I started to develop professionally, got the education and communication skills I needed.
I have had the opportunity to participate in Lobby Days and meet several MPPs. The union has given me the education and encouragement to set up these meetings on my own and use my voice in the political setting to advocate for my fellow nurses.
I am an introvert, someone who always sticks to myself, but now, the union allowed me to come out of my shell. I feel like I have improved my listening skills, I have become more open-minded, and feel more outgoing.
