Thank you to all Socials Workers, for the important work you do.
Saskatchewan’s social workers show up for us every day with compassion and commitment, even when the system makes their jobs harder than it should. As a union, SGEU will continue to fight for safer workloads, better system supports, and the respect they deserve.
