Task Force for a New Union

It’s your union. It’s your Task Force. And it’s your ideas that will rebuild and strengthen HEU.

This has been the guiding principle behind HEU’s Task Force for a New Union right from the beginning.

Established by resolution at the union’s October 2004 biennial convention, the Task Force was mandated to review the Hospital Employees’ Union - everything from structure, decision-making and accountability to bargaining and member communications. And anything else the members wanted to explore.

The Task Force has published its August 2006 Final Report and will take the recommendations for change to our 25th biennial convention to be held October 2-6, 2006.

You can follow the work of the Task Force from the discussion guide that formed the basis of the province-wide member consultation meetings in the Fall of 2005 to the May 2006 interim report to the final report and finally to the convention outcomes.

In the end, it’s the delegates to the October 2006 biennial convention who will make the final decisions about changes to the union.
