Union News - December 2021
Did you know that your Union offers many ways to recognize activists in the community and in the Union? We invite members to visit the UTE website: www.ute-sei.org and see for yourself, it’s easy.
From the Home page click on Committees in the Banner near the top of the page. This brings up a list of committees. On the left-hand side, you just choose the Honours and Awards Committee.
Look through the information on the committee site. It may be an eye opener to many members unaware of all recognition UTE provides to both members and union activists.
There are scholarships available for you, your children and grandchildren that would help with the cost associated in furthering their education. It is worth noting that the amounts have recently been increased to $3,000 and $1,500 for National and Regional scholarships respectively.
There are ways to honour community activists. The Humanitarian Award for example has a financial award going to the charity of the recipient’s choice.
Have a look and see if you know someone who should be recognized. It is important to be aware that some of these awards have specific deadlines.
Contact your local executive, they can help!
