Testimonials

I call the union for handling problems if I ever have any in my workplace, they always respond in a fast and timely manner to help resolve them!  


When people join together and be part of the union we are helping each other have support and rules for work, I dont want to be the one standing alone!  


I think the question should be this:  Why should somebody not join the SDA? That list would be short.  


It’s peace of mind, it’s just like ringing a friend and knowing they are there for you plus they know all the answers.
