Do you want to learn more about worker rights and the union?

This series of 60-minute webinars is open to all HEU members, especially workers who joined HEU recently. By registering to this webinar, you confirm your attendance.

Everyone who attends a webinar and fills out an evaluation will be entered into a draw to win a gift certificate to the HEU boutique.

New Member Orientation

Learning about your local union is one of your most important negotiated rights as a union member. Every collective agreement has language to support a new member’s orientation to their own local and to HEU itself.    

HEU is offering a one-day new member orientation workshop to support locals setting up and deliver union orientation (induction) sessions to all new members.
