Each Labour Day weekend, unions and other labour organizations take time to acknowledge our hard-working members, and the countless contributions they make in our communities. Your dedication and commitment to the workforce keeps our communities healthy and attractive places to live and grow.

For hundreds of years, unions have fought for the rights and freedoms workers experience. Our work is far from done, but together we continue to make improvements and face the obstacles that weigh us down. Together, we can achieve a better work-life balance, fair wages, safer workspaces, and more equitable opportunities.

Labour Day allows us to reflect on the strides we have made and the goals we still endeavour to achieve.

Labour Day celebrations will be taking place across the province on September 2nd, inviting workers and their family and friends to join in the events. Parades, picnics, entertainment and more are slated to take place. Be sure to join in the fun. Please note, the NSNU Office in Burnside will be closed on Labour Day.
