The Union of Northern Workers(UNW) or the Northwest Territories(NWT) Public Service Association as it was known then, began organizing employees of the new Territorial Government in 1969. In 1988, the Government of Northwest Territories(GNWT) passed the Union of Northern Workers Act which officially changed the name of the organization and recognized the UNW as the bargaining agent for its members working for the government. The UNW is a component(partner) of the Public Service Alliance of Canada(PSAC). The PSAC provides the UNW and its members with some specialized services. They do organizing drives, lobby governments at the federal level, provide legal advice, and representation in arbitrations. The UNW provides direct service to its members, representing them in job appeals, grievances and everyday workplace problems. UNW also prepares bargaining demands for contract negotiations. UNW Service Officers help ensure that the terms and conditions are enforced for each of the 25 Collective Agreements that apply to our UNQ members. 1, record 16, English, - Union%20of%20Northern%20Workers
