UNAP in the Spotlight
Joyce Dion, Vice President of UNAP
In 2005 when HCRS began setting policies that would adversely impact my school work and continuity of care for the at-risk and vulnerable children and families with whom I work, I became involved in the effort to organize our union at HCRS. It was hard, daunting work which took the combined effort and courage of fellow clinicians and UNAP staff. I am forever proud of our union and all that we have accomplished since the election in December 2005 and just as importantly, since our first contract in December 2007.
