At events across the province, we asked members of the public to share their worst boss stories. A clear theme emerged: these workers weren't treated with safety, dignity or respect.

Don't let a bad boss ruin your experience at work. Join a union that will work with you to improve your workplace.

Last month, SGEU SODS steward Nazik Abdalla had the honour of speaking to members about the union at a workplace event.

She covered topics like union rep in meetings, staff responsibilities and accessing and reviewing your CBA.

We love seeing our stewards in action 💪 Thanks so much for sharing!

Tracey Sauer, president of SGEU, emphasized the impact of funding instability in the sector.

“Without stable, multi-year funding indexed to inflation, CBOs can’t plan, retain staff, or maintain safe facilities,” said Sauer. “Vulnerable people pay the price when services are disrupted.”
November 20, 2025 at 10:07 PM
The Tri-Union CBO Committee represents workers in more than 80 community agencies across the province. After decades of underfunding, the sector faces severe staffing shortages, low wages, unstable funding, and inadequate oversight, putting workers and clients at risk.

These workers deliver vital services to vulnerable citizens, including disability care, domestic violence response, suicide intervention, emergency child care, and employment support.
