Introduction to
Nunavut Employees
Union

The Nunavut Employees Union represents public service workers across the territory of Nunavut. Established in 1999, our members are employed in diverse workplaces including the Government of Nunavut, Qulliq Energy Corporation, hamlets and housing associations across all 25 communities.

One in three working age Nunavummiut are members of our union. They are in key roles and ensure the delivery of essential services — our members are nurses, firefighters, social workers, school support staff, water truck drivers, and public housing workers. They are responsible for powering communities during extreme weather conditions, providing support in times of social and community crises, and strengthening the lives of all Nunavummiut who live on these Inuit lands. 

The NEU is a proud component of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, a national union representing over 240,000 public service employees across the country.
