Looking to start an Alberta Labour Union for Senior Citizen Support Services Union?

Workers in the Senior Citizen Support services industry face challenging working conditions every day with little in terms of support. Days can be mentally and physically demanding with difficult hours and schedules. We believe things should be different and that an Alberta labour union for Senior Citizen Support Services can make that change. At Teamsters Union 987, we support our members working in retirement homes and other institutions that improve the quality of life of seniors who require care or intervention.

Why a Senior Citizen Support Services Union?

At Teamsters 987, we understand how important this network of workers is to the health and happiness of the greater community and Alberta as a whole. Our elderly need compassionate love and care, and workers in this industry selflessly provide without asking for anything except fair and equal treatment. We believe all workers deserve equal pay, benefits, sick days, personal days, and fair scheduling – especially those in this vital industry. We can also advocate for things like pensions and retirement plans, and most importantly, give you the voice to stand up for your rights. You deserve the stability and support a union provides – let us help you find it.

I have been with my company for over 7 years. I go through an evaluation every year and we would usually get a modest raise depending on the evaluation outcome. For the past 3-4 years, I was told management was not authorized to give raises. After some initial delays, negotiations were finally agreed upon. Thanks to the hard work and effort of Teamsters 987 on our behalf, I wound up with a substantial raise due to hours worked. Based on my past union experiences, I was nervous but after experiencing what the Teamsters 987 labour union has done for me, I love them! I am very impressed!
