Happy Canada Day!
We hope you all have a fantastic day. Thank you to those who are working today to care, support, provide, and protect.
Please be safe at work and at play.
NAPE President Jerry Earle was a guest on VOCM Openline this morning to talk about Student Assistants - the issues they face as vital members of the educational system. Jerry was also asked to speak about the current situation with the Provincial Ambulance Integration. You can listen to the segment below.
Home care is Healthcare.
Home Care is an essential part of our healthcare system.
Home care gives those who need support the ability to stay in their own homes. It allows people to get better and be independent. Home care gives loved ones peace of mind. And it reduces stress and strain on our healthcare system – while saving our province money.
It’s time that home care workers get the pay and benefits they deserve for the vital work they do.
When members of NAPE’s Anti-Racism Committee told each other their stories and individual experiences of being racialized, they knew these stories needed to be shared more broadly, and so this video project was born.
This is the second of three videos that will be released.
Our union is growing and is more diverse than ever, and we are better for it. We hope these videos serve as a step forward in our unions anti-racist work.
When members of NAPE’s Anti-Racism Committee told each other their stories and individual experiences of being racialized, they knew these stories needed to be shared more broadly, and so this video project was born. This is the first video of three that will be released.
Because many workers who face discrimination in Newfoundland and Labrador, and across the country, are vulnerable, these videos are especially poignant and brave. It is an honour to hear the stories and experiences from these workers for us to listen, understand and learn so we are more informed about the experiences of racialized workers in our province, and we can become better allies.
Our union is growing and is more diverse than ever, and we are better for it. The labour movement has a proud history of social justice, and we hope these videos serve as a step forward in our unions anti-racist work.
Let's try this again!

Reaction to Senior's Advocate Report
NAPE President Jerry Earle was on VOCM this morning providing reaction to the Senior’s Advocate Report that was released yesterday.
Jerry focused in on the analysis and recommendations in the report regarding home support services. The full segment can be heard below.
Home and youth care workers play a vital role in our province. They need and deserve more supports in place – wages, benefits, training, educational opportunities, recognition, retention and recruitment initiatives, etc…
“…they’re not properly compensated and often have very few benefits – something we’ve striven to improve, and I can assure you heading to the bargaining table in a few months that we’ll be trying to enhance that much more…” – Jerry
No convention is complete without a rendition of Solidarity Forever! ✊🏼
