Testimonials

You should join the SDA because the SDA can give help and guidance. It’s like insurance for your job. Peace of mind with the SDA.  


With the upcoming EBA negotiations it's great to have someone pushing our company for better conditions in my workplace.  


Being a member of the SDA is important because I'm not good at speaking up so I need assitance to help negotiate on my behalf.  


The SDA is always working at getting the best and safest conditions for you and if something goes wrong they are there for you.
