Thank you, Khary
With saddened hearts, we must part and say goodbye to an ultimate warrior. Khary has been the cornerstone and foundation of Local 541, often carrying it on his shoulders amidst fragility.
Asian Heritage month: Tracing Back our Roots in Canada
In celebration of this year’s Asian Heritage Month, the 541 union would like to share a few features from our staff on what Asian Identity means to them.
Asian Heritage in Activism
Throughout their history in Canada, Asians have dealt with many types of exclusion. But with that exclusion, came activism and advocacy. I’m going to take you through the beginnings of that story by discussing discussing how Asian labour activism shifted Canadian history.
Jewish Heritage in Canadian Human Rights
This Jewish Heritage Month, I want to highlight the tremendous contributions Jewish Canadians have had on Canadian labour. The Jewish community, in particular, played an incredibly impactful role in fighting against discrimination and building the human rights movement in Canada.
Mental Health First Aid
Working within the union, when members bring their concerns to you the situation is often emotionally charged. Mental health first aid training aims to help you learn to protect yourself and the person requiring assistance.

April is Black Women’s History Month
Did You Know?… April is International Black Women’s History Month! Established in 2016 in the city of Atlanta to uplift and support the achievements of Black and minority women, and to build understanding and awareness of the contributions of Black women to the world.
Black women have always been the backbone of society, empowering our neighbourhoods with strength despite circumstances that challenge our Blackness. The sisterhood between Black women continues to grow tighter and so does our village at CEIU and PSAC.
