The people who fought wildland and forest fires this summer still aren't classified as firefighters. In the federal government's job database, they're "silviculture and forestry workers." Tell your MP they are firefighters: voicesforpublicgood.ca/wildland

Wildfire season is underway, and still, Canada doesn't classify wildland and forest firefighters as firefighters. One line in a database costs them the protections their municipal counterparts get. Watch and tell your MP to fix it at: nupge.ca/wildland

Nurses from across our components are in Ottawa this week, sharing what they’re seeing on the job and working on the issues they have in common. We’re glad to have them in town!

Wildland firefighters are firefighters. Canada’s job classification system still says otherwise. Today on Parliament Hill, MP @GordJohns, BCGEU’s @paulgfinch and Sebastian Kallos, and our own @BertBlundon called on Ottawa to fix it.

Our President @BertBlundon was at AUPE's convention in Edmonton today, joining delegates and allies from across the labour movement. Thank you, AUPE, for the warm welcome and for everything you do to keep Alberta's public services strong.

The dancers at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet have had a union for years. Now more than 110 of their coworkers do too. Teachers, accompanists, boarding staff, finance, security and more are now @MGEUnion Local 466, and part of the NUPGE family. Welcome!
