Membership Benefits

 

The NHU’s philosophy is simple: our union belongs to its members… all its members.

Our ongoing focus is on building a strong union that delivers high quality service in a cost-effective manner.

We’re not the only union to say that.  The NHU is, however, one of

the very few that actually does it!

 

HIGH QUALITY SERVICE THAT RANKS WITH THE BEST!

We in the NHU believe our services speak for themselves.  It’s not the size of the union bureaucracy that matters…it’s the quality of services provided.

The NHU runs a lean, efficient, member-focused operation without sacrificing programs or services.  In fact, we provide services and programs that many other PSAC Component unions simply don’t offer.

Here are just some of the innovative NHU programs and services we provide our members:


          • National Conferences for Local Presidents
          • Fully-funded NHU Regional Conferences
          • An Education Fund for Local activists
          • Strike fund top-up payments
          • Full-funding of NHU delegates to PSAC Regional Conventions
          • Paid union leave for business and training
          • Three scholarships each year

          • Foster Parents Program for children in third-world Countries


HIGH VALUE FOR YOUR HARD-EARNED DUES MONEY!

As you can see from above, we don't scrimp on programs or services.  But when it comes to cost-effectiveness and value, the NHU is literally second to none.  We have the lowest percentage dues structure of all 17 PSAC Component unions.

How do we do it?  Prudent fiscal management is our watchword.  Not as an end in itself.  But because over the years we’ve seen that careful stewardship of our members’ dues money ultimately frees up more – and not fewer – resources for service and representation.

 

SAVINGS ON LIFE, HOME AND AUTO INSURANCE!

As a Component union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the NHU lets our members leverage the PSAC's much larger membership size to score savings on life, home and auto insurance.
