LPNs in HEU: United for our profession

LRB makes it official – BCNU raid applications dismissed

HEU is welcoming a decision from the province’s Labour Relations Board dismissing all raid applications submitted by the BC Nurses’ Union to represent LPNs who are members of HEU and other unions.

“Today’s ruling confirms what the vast majority of LPNs have told us all along – they want to remain united and independent within HEU, where they can continue to advocate for their own, unique professional interests,” says HEU secretary-business manager Judy Darcy.
