Union Counselling

A partnership between the United Way and the Kingston and District Labour Council, the Union Counselling program helps workers to find effective solutions and community support for issues outside the scope of their collective agreements. Union Counsellors are often the first contact for co-workers with problems.  In 2010 members from CUPE, Canadian Union of Public Employees, OPSEU, Ontario Public Service Employees Union and AMAPCEO, Association of Management, Administrative & Professional Chrown Employees of Ontario were trained. There were a total of 14 sessions covering the following topics: Access to services, Mental health issues, Services for Youth and Seniors, Addictions, Retirement, Conflict resolutions and other topics.

Workers Help Centre

The Help Centre is designed to help both union and non-union workers with access to community resources. This service benefits those who have lost their jobs due to layoffs, downsizing or closure. It also helps with personal issues or other problems affecting workers. The Centre is located in the Steelworkers Union Centre at 105 Sutherland Drive. In 2010, 248 referrals were made, helping 157 workers in our community.
