Every September 30, we honour residential school survivors, their families, and their communities, and we remember the children who never came home. On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are reminded that reconciliation begins with listening to survivors, learning the truth about the residential school system, and carrying that truth into our workplaces and communities. 

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, members of USJE’s National Executive attended the 49th Annual Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. 

USJE’s National Executive has unanimously adopted a motion to provide financial support to Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) members currently on strike at the Bank of Canada. 

USJE is seeking to hire 1 or 2 Term Labour Relations Officers, for a period of 12 months (with opportunity for extension, up to and including indeterminate status).

Yesterday, members of the USJE National Executive and Alex Creamer, Local President and member of the PA Group negotiating team, joined the gathering organized by the Government Services Union in front of the Metcalfe Hotel in Ottawa.  

Ninety-three days into their strike, Bank of Canada security guards continue to stand strong on the picket line, supported by union members across the country. Today, members of the USJE National Executive visited the picket line in Ottawa to show their solidarity and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the striking workers as they continue their fight for a fair collective agreement.
