\"HAPPYHOLIDAYS_2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On behalf of everyone at the Union of National Employees, I\u2019d like to wish you all a bright and joyous holiday season. Whether you\u2019re taking some vacation or just enjoying a few days off, I hope you take the time to relax and spend quality time with friends and family.<\/p>\n

I also want to thank you for the important work you do on behalf of Canadians. If there\u2019s one thing I know, it\u2019s just how hard our members work. The Harper government would like to portray us in a different light, but I know all too well that everyone is being asked to do more with less \u2013 and I know how difficult that makes it for you to perform work that lives up to what Canadians deserve.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a message that we\u2019ve been putting out there for some time; we want the public to know how our national treasures are hurting \u2013 how the institutions responsible for our heritage just can\u2019t preserve and maintain important pieces of our history \u2013 how decisions are being base on ideology over science and facts.<\/p>\n

And the list goes on.<\/p>\n

And unfortunately, the attacks aren\u2019t stopping. There\u2019s now a very public attack on our paid sick leave. And as we speak, we\u2019re getting ready for some tough negotiations at the bargaining table. If you haven\u2019t already, please take a moment to go to the PSAC\u2019s website and sign the pledge in support of paid sick leave for all Canadians.<\/p>\n

Every voice counts right now.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s not all doom and gloom. As you may know, 2015 is soon upon us. And with the New Year comes the promise of federal elections. Trust me: all I want for 2015 is a government that respects public services and the people who provide them on behalf of Canadians.<\/p>\n

But that won\u2019t happen without some hard work. It\u2019s important for everyone to talk about the work they do with their friends and family. It\u2019s up to all of us to tell them how we\u2019ve seen our national treasures and public services deteriorate over the horrible Harper years. We\u2019re certainly going to blast that message from the rooftops; but we need everyone to organize and mobilize.<\/p>\n

So please stay in touch. We want to keep the lines of communication open. We want to hear your concerns and we want to make sure you have a way of knowing what we\u2019re doing on your behalf. You can stay in touch by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter or signing up for our e-newsletter.<\/p>\n

And finally, I\u2019d just like to take a moment to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who plays an instrumental role in our union. The work we do simply wouldn\u2019t be possible without the hard work and dedication of countless volunteers. I\u2019m proud to call these champions of fairness and justice my union brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

Once again, I wish you the most joyous holiday season and a happy New Year.<\/p>\n

Doug Marshall
\nNational President
