To our HPEI members,
Did you know that Article 26.14 of the HPEI Collective Agreement provides members with up to 3.75 hours of paid time to attend a blood donor appointment?
With Canadian Blood Services currently facing a shortage of blood, every donation is especially important. A single blood donation can help save the lives of people undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, trauma care and other medical procedures.
If you are eligible to donate, we encourage you to consider making an appointment. Your Collective Agreement provides you with the time to do so.
Article 26.14 allows up to 3.75 hours for a blood donor appointment, so please take advantage of this benefit and help make a difference in someone's life.
Every donation matters. Give blood. Give hope. Save lives.
In solidarity,
IUOE Local 942
