Representatives from our National Union met with Minister Christine Elliott on Monday, and she indicated that Bill 124, which caps salary increases in the public sector to only 1% per year, would not be repealed. Minister Elliott does understand the wage disparity between a PSW receiving the pandemic bonus and the salary of RPNs, and that is something they need to deal with at the provincial level. They have no intention of stopping the wage enhancement for PSWs.
Please note that the 2024 Unifor National Scholarship application period is open!
Unifor recognizes that the cost associated with post-secondary education is a challenge for many working families. To assist in making education more accessible, we have established 28 scholarships of $2,000.00 each to children of Unifor members and a Unifor member entering their first year of post-secondary studies. Five of these scholarships are administered by the Quebec Council with a separate application form (see www.uniforquebec.org). Residents of Quebec must apply using that application process.
More information about this popular program including details on how to apply can be found here.
THE APPLICATION PERIOD CLOSES ON FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2024.
