SFL President Lori Johb stood outside Minister Wyant’s office today with a demand of each Sask Party MLA: Be on the right side of history. Vote against Scott Moe’s Nothwithstanding Clause Bill. #skpoli #saskfight4rights

“'People are struggling to make ends meet,' Cape said, calling for Moe to help people address the affordability crisis rather than playing politics with the rights of transgender kids." thestarphoenix.com/news/local-new…

🚨"It’s clear the privatization agenda is paramount, regardless of the cost or the long-term health consequences. Hard-held ideologies can be self-deceiving and expensive."🚨 - Dr. Dan Roberts, acting head of neurology at Health Sciences Centre #mbpoli winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analys…

SEIU-West Members and supporters marched to the Saskatoon Cabinet Office in support of Public Healthcare for All.

Today marks the beginning of Pride month. Pride is a celebration of love and acceptance for those who are members of the 2SLGBTQIA++ community. It is also a reminder that we must remain vigilant in ensuring human rights are respected in workplaces, schools, and in the community.

Canada Health Transfer funds are at risk of being poured into privatization, or provincial general revenue funds. We need the federal government to take action and ensure that these dollars are actually spent on publicly funded, delivered and administered health care.

May 21 - 27 is Paramedic Services Week. Paramedics are often the first point of contact into the healthcare system for people who may not have anywhere else to turn. They work in challenging, high pressure, situations, while providing lifesaving care to our community. 💜

May 22-26 is Disability Service Professionals Week. These professionals are often employed by Community Based Organizations, who fill the gaps of services not provided by the government, despite not having multiyear funding commitments. We are thankful for the care they provide.

May 21 - 27 is National Public Works Week. Public Works is the thread that connects us all, with every professional striving to improve the quality of life for the communities they serve. Their work leads to happier, healthier communities. 💜

We are so excited to once again participate in Pride celebrations! Members are welcome to join the SEIU-West Gender and Sexual Diversity Committee as they march in Pride parades in Regina on June 10, Saskatoon on June 17th and Swift Current on July 8. Happy Pride!

Love to see it! SEIU President Mary Kay Henry, reppin' SEIU-West gear in Savannah, GA! 💜 #powerinpurple
