Unifor National Scholarships – Friday May 11 2018 Deadline

 

Greetings:

 

Unifor recognizes that the costs associated with post-secondary education is a challenge for many working-class families.  To assist in making education more accessible, we’ve established 28 scholarships of $2,000.00 each.  Five of these scholarships are administered by the Quebec Council with a separate application form (see www.uniforquebec.org).  Residents of Quebec must apply using that application process.

 

The scholarships are awarded to children of Unifor members in good standing.  Students must be entering their first year of full-time post-secondary education (university, community college, technological institute, trade school, etc.) in a public Canadian institution.  One of these scholarships will also be available to a Unifor member with at least one year seniority.

 

Detailed information about eligibility and how to apply for a scholarship can be found at www.unifor.org/en/education/scholarships

 

Please note that any partially completed applications, or applications missing any of the required documents, will result in an error message, and cannot be submitted.  Please ensure you have all documents available before submitting.

The deadline to submit an application is Friday, May 11th.

Come out to the Time to Care rally: February 27

unnamed

Greetings,
I am writing to ask that you come out to an important rally in support of a minimum standard of care for all long-term care residents.

Bill 33, the Time to Care Act, calls for a minimum standard of four hours of daily, hands-on care for residents in long-term care. The bill has passed second reading, and now we need to keep the pressure on to ensure it becomes law before the June 7 provincial election.

A community and labour rally will take place on February 27 at 12 noon at Queen’s Park.

I am asking that you and your co-workers make every effort to attend so that we can have a strong showing. Please be sure to bring your flags! For more information, please click here.

Our union launched the #6minchallenge in early December, which calls on Ontarians to do the impossible – get ready in the morning in only six minutes. This is the average time that residents in long-term care have to get ready for breakfast each day, with the assistance of a personal support worker.

If you aren’t one of the more than 42,000 people who have already watched the video, be sure to check it out here and then take the challenge. Include the hashtag #6minchallenge in your social media post!

Our long-term care system in Ontario is in crisis. We need a minimum (four hours), measurable and enforceable standard of care. Change is long overdue.

I hope you will join me and other Unifor leaders and activists on February 27 at Queen’s Park.

In solidarity,


Naureen Rizvi
Ontario Regional Director
