Unity is more than just a word.
It is the feeling, commitment and dedication of individuals that share a common purpose or goal. Recent government cutbacks have seemingly put a rift into many previously united professions. In many cases, there have been threats of layoffs and downsizing. Organizations such as Law Enforcement, Fire Service, EMS and Registered Nurses, have gone without collective agreements for long periods of time. Recognition or appreciation of a job well done, has been overlooked by the immediate supervisors, who themselves are pressured, to do more with less.
