Greetings Members of the Union of National Employees (UNE),
I wanted to provide an update on how we are streamlining the grievance processes at UNE.
For help with completing a grievance by the local executives, email or call the info line.
For scheduling final level hearings, please email scheduling at the following address:
When a date has been assigned, a National Labour Relations Officer will follow up with the member directly.
Once your case is with the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), they will follow up advising you of when your case is scheduled.
For escalation of grievances contact the Director of Member Representation and Labour Relations.
All policy grievances are held with the PSAC, therefore follow up with the office of the National President.
Please refrain from following up for status updates as we are not yet set up to monitor status, and we will be in touch when we are preparing your case.
We expect to have additional new tools in the fall of 2025.
Thank you,
Alisha Kang (nee Campbell)
National President
Union of National Employees
Following the deadly rock slide at Bow Glacier Falls, north of Banff, Alberta, the Union of National Employees (UNE) extends its thoughts and prayers to everyone affected — including our Parks Canada members and their families.
The incident occurred Thursday afternoon, when a large section of rock collapsed to the right of the falls. Two fatalities and several serious injuries have been reported so far. Parks Canada and the RCMP have stopped search efforts for any additional hikers who may have been caught in the slide.
UNE National President Alisha Kang expressed her support:
“I would like to acknowledge and thank the Parks Canada visitor safety teams and first responders who acted swiftly to airlift the injured to safety. This is a tragic incident for all those involved.”
Anyone with missing loved ones who may have been in the area is urged to contact the Parks Canada Banff Detachment at 403-762-1470.

Dear UNE Members,
As part of our ongoing independent structural review of the Union of National Employees (UNE), we are reaching out to gather your insights and lived experiences as a valued member of the union. Your voice is critical in shaping a structure that better serves all members across our diverse community.
We invite you to complete the UNE Members Survey, which will take approximately 30 minutes to one hour to complete. Your participation is completely anonymous, and all responses will be reviewed in confidence to help inform recommendations that reflect the needs, realities, and aspirations of our membership.
We ask that you please complete the survey before or by the latest 12 noon EST on the 4th July 2025, there after you will no longer be able to access the link to participate.

Your feedback will directly support the development of a more inclusive, responsive, and representative UNE structure. This review is the first of its kind in 2 decades, and your voice will play a central role in building a stronger future for our union.
We also encourage you to share this survey with fellow members in your networks to ensure broad and diverse participation from across the country.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important process. Your input is essential to ensuring UNE evolves in a way that truly reflects its membership.
O’Siyo ᎣᏏᏲ “o-si-yo,” (Cherokee: I see you) Hello and Bonjour Union Sibling(s),
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to share an important development that will shape the future of our union. As many of you know, during our 2023 Convention, delegates passed a resolution calling for a comprehensive review of UNE’s structure. This resolution reflected a shared recognition that, as UNE continues to grow and serve a diverse membership across more than 60 employer types, it is critical that our structure evolves to meet the needs of our members today and in the future.
I’m pleased to let you know that the UNE Structural Review is now officially underway.
To support this process, UNE has engaged Intersol Group, a Canadian consulting firm with more than 30 years of experience in strategic facilitation, change management, and structural review—particularly within union and public service environments. Intersol is known for its collaborative and values-based approach, and they bring strong expertise in supporting organizations like ours through thoughtful, member-centered transformation.
This structural review is independent and impartial. Its purpose is not to impose a pre-defined solution, but to explore how our current structure is serving us—and where it may need to evolve to better support equity, representation, and service delivery across all regions and employer groups.
Over the coming months, Intersol will engage with members, locals, and regional representatives across the country to gather insights and ideas. One of the first steps will be a set of surveys tailored to each of these groups. These will be launched in the coming days, and we strongly encourage your participation. Your voice matters. The more perspectives we gather, the more grounded and effective the recommendations will be.
We understand that UNE has been through a time of significant change in recent years, and that trust is something we must earn—every step of the way. This review is an opportunity to reflect, to listen, and to build something stronger together.
Thank you in advance for your engagement and for all you do in support of our members.
Thank you, Merci, ᏙᎾᏓᎪᎲᎢ “di-da-yo-li-hv-dv-ga-le-ni-s-gv,” which means “Until we meet again”
