A new campaign from the Nunavut Employees Union and PSAC calls on the Government of Nunavut to support workers by providing stable jobs, fair wages & a northern allowance that keeps up with rising costs. Join their fight to reach a fair deal at https://herefornunavut.ca

Nunavut residents can join the fight for a fair deal at herefornunavut.ca by sending their Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) a message calling on the GN to step up for employees and by sharing the campaign on social media.
