Community Partnerships

The Union of Northen Workers recognizes not only the responsibility it has to its members, but also its greater social responsibility to society in general.  The UNW goes well beyond simply focusing on issues affecting only its members.

UNW members benefit from society.  As a leading labour influence in the Northwest Territories, the UNW recognized its obligation to make decisions and to take actions that will enhance the welfare and interests of all society, -- not just UNW members.
