Our Focus
Deployment
Put more money in healthcare workers’ pockets by being able to deploy workers where temporary shifts become available.
Development
Train and develop existing, experienced healthcare workers who know the sector best.
Recruitment
Make healthcare an attractive career by increasing the amount of full-time, well-paying, unionized jobs.
“Thanks to the SEIU Healthcare Training Centre and WorkersFirst Healthcare, members of our union now have the ability to pick up well-paying shifts when it works for their schedule. Instead of working 2-3 part-time jobs, all on fixed schedules, I can work one main job and then pick and choose extra shifts when and where they work for me. SEIU Healthcare has really created something special here.”
“I am proud to belong to a union that thinks outside of the box and creates real solutions to the real problems healthcare workers face every day. Without innovative thinking, healthcare jobs will far further and further away from being good jobs, but my union is working hard to turn things in the right direction.”
