"They won't care." We hear it all the time.

Maybe you're frustrated. Maybe you're skeptical. We get it.

But every workplace improvement workers have won started because people chose to speak up.

Decision-makers can't ignore thousands of voices. They can't ignore evidence. And they can't ignore workers who stand together. Hybrid work works.

Now it's time to make sure your MPP hears from the people living the reality behind the research. Because silence won't change anything. https://www.hybridworkworks.ca/write_your_mpp

Canada's public sector depends on skilled workers. When talented employees leave, everyone feels it.

Services suffer. Teams lose expertise. Recruitment costs rise. Research found hybrid work reduced employee turnover by one-third.

That means keeping experienced people in the jobs that Canadians rely on. Hybrid work isn't a perk. It's a practical solution that helps retain skilled professionals. Strong workplaces help build strong public services.

Thank you to all of the Society members who joined us at this year’s Trans Rally & March, D**e Rally & March, and Toronto Pride Parade. Your energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to inclusion helped make Pride 2026 a weekend to remember.

We were proud to stand alongside the Ontario Federation of Labour and our fellow labour partners in celebrating the strength, resilience, and diversity of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Pride is a celebration, but it is also a reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported at work and in our communities.

Thank you to everyone who marched with us, cheered us on, and helped make these events so meaningful. We look forward to continuing this work together, during Pride Month and throughout the year.

Before a large hybrid work trial, many managers believed productivity would suffer.

After experiencing hybrid work?

Their views shifted from negative to positive. Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't performance. It's perception.

Our members don't need ideology driving workplace decisions. They need evidence. And evidence shows that hybrid work can support employees while maintaining results. Let's build workplace policies based on facts, not fear.

Every commute has a cost. Not just fuel. Not just transit fares.

Time.

Time with your kids. Time caring for family. Time exercising. Time resting.

When decision-makers talk about return-to-office mandates, these costs are often ignored. Our members live them every day. Research shows hybrid work improves work-life balance while maintaining performance. Workers shouldn't have to choose between serving the public and having a life outside work.

Tell your MPP that workers deserve better and volunteer for constituency visits now at www.hybridworkworks.ca/expression_of_interest

Happy Canada Day!

Today is an opportunity to celebrate the people, communities, and values that bring us together across Canada. It is also a time to recognize that this day carries different meanings for many, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, and to reflect on our shared responsibility to advance truth, reconciliation, and respect.

At the Society of United Professionals, we are proud to stand with our members in building stronger workplaces, stronger communities, and a more inclusive future for everyone. We also recognize and thank those members who are working today to keep essential services running.

We wish all our members a safe, joyful, and meaningful Canada Day.

Earlier this month, we were proud to host the Saskatchewan Charity Golf Tournament at Greenbryre Golf & Country Club , following the official opening of our new Saskatoon office.

All proceeds from the tournament support Ronald McDonald House SK , whose mission is to keep families together while children receive medical care by providing a welcoming and supportive home away from home. We are honoured to partner with an organization that makes such a meaningful difference for families across the province.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported this important cause, and helped make this golf tournament possible. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the years ahead. ⛳

For years, we've heard the same argument: "Hybrid work hurts productivity."

But one of the world's most respected scientific journals found no evidence that hybrid work harmed employee performance, promotions, or productivity. At the same time, employees reported higher satisfaction and were less likely to leave.

The debate shouldn't be driven by assumptions. It should be driven by evidence. And the evidence is clear: Hybrid Work Works.

Help us make sure decision-makers hear it.
