Today, the National Day of Mourning, we honour workers killed, injured or ill from on-the-job hazards.

Last year, 185 B.C. workers died from a workplace injury or disease. Many more were injured at work. Musculoskeletal and back strains, occupational disease, cuts, and contusions are the most common workplace injuries.

WorkSafeBC lists the subsectors with the highest injury claims with lost time from work: health care and social services; general construction; retail; transportation and related services, and tourism and hospitality. Health care workers continue to experience the highest injury rates among any sector.

On Monday, April 20, HEU members at The Residence at Morgan Heights, a private long-term care facility in Surrey, organized a rally to show their employer, Care Factor Health Management Services ltd., how powerful worker solidarity can be.

Joined by HEU leaders, members from other locals, HEU staff and supportive members of the public, they rallied to get the employer back to the table to negotiate a fair and respectful contract.

A contract that acknowledges the dedicated and caring work members provide and doesn't rely on the provincial government's wage levelling program as an excuse not to offer a single monetary gain in this contract.

Leave a ✊ or a comment to show the workers at Morgan Heights that you stand with them in this fight!

This year's Earth Day theme is "Our Power, Our Planet." The theme reminds us that though Earth Day is just one day, meaningful action for the environment and climate means taking the initiative to make changes where we work and live throughout the year.

HEU was proud to join Health Sciences Association of British Columbia) and other health care and public sector unions today at HSA's Invest in Health Care rally. As Canada's public health care system comes under attack, workers rallied to remind leaders that public health care needs to be defended by all levels of government. We were reminded at the rally that "profits don't care; health care workers do!”
