Every year on August 31, we raise awareness of the overdose crisis and stand with those who have lost family, friends, neighbours and colleagues to it.

Canada's drug overdose crisis impacts our communities, those who are suffering from addictions, their loved ones and the frontline workers who provide critical services.

This year’s theme of International Overdose Awareness Day is “one big family" – reminding us to extend compassion to others and imagine a new meaning of what family can be.

HEU stands in solidarity with the Coast Victoria Hotel workers and Unite Here Local 40! ✊

On Tuesday, August 26, Unite Here Local 40 is hosting a solidarity BBQ and rally at Fisherman's Wharf from 12-2 p.m. Everyone is invited!

We also encourage our Victoria members, friends and allies to show your support and join these workers on the picket line any time between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily at the Coast Victoria Hotel (146 Kingston St., Victoria).

Over the years, the workers at Coast Victoria Hotel have provided wonderful guest services to our union and members. We value each and every one of these workers, and recognize the dedication they bring to their jobs. ❤️

We're sending encouragement on behalf of HEU’s 60,000+ membership as the Coast Victoria Hotel workers fight for safer working conditions, family-supporting wages, and better job security.

Congratulations to all the Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants! ✊✈️
