You elect your executives and representatives, who work with ONA staff to improve your working conditions and maintain your rights in the workplace.
They also link you and your colleagues with broader membership and the Board of Directors, bringing forth your concerns and building a strong province-wide network of support. We show up together. We fight for each other and for those who can’t fight for themselves.
