A five-day course for HEU members looking to make their union and locals more inclusive and better reflect the diversity of members.
You’ll learn how to:
- question assumptions and increase your confidence
- challenge inequity and support inclusive working relationships
- understand power and privilege in society and the workplace
- build deeper relationships with people from different social and cultural backgrounds
- better reflect the diversity of fellow members in all parts of union life
- build strength and capacity in your local and the union
Space is limited. Members from equity seeking groups, young workers (under 33 years old), and members with a demonstrated commitment to the principles of inclusion and solidarity will be prioritized for course acceptance.
Please note, applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

New Member Orientation
Learning about your local union is one of your most important negotiated rights as a union member. Every collective agreement has language to support a new member’s orientation to their own local and to HEU itself.
HEU is offering a one-day new member orientation workshop to support locals setting up and deliver union orientation (induction) sessions to all new members.
HEU in Your Own Language
This workshop is being offered for the first time in a selected number of languages (Hindi, Punjabi, Tagalog and Spanish), and more options will be offered as we expand this project.

In this two-day workshop you will learn how Trustees play an important role in the union.
