Harassment and Bullying:
Bullying and harassment happen in many places and come in many different forms – from using offensive and malicious langu

age, to making threats. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior because it prevents our members and staff from feeling safe and respected. We allow constructive discussion, which often includes critical commentary. The page administrator, however, has an obligation to maintain a safe space and will remove all malicious comments and ban the author from the page to maintain a respectful environment. Context and intent matter, and the page administrator will use tools available on Facebook to help protect against content that is intended to intimidate or exclude. While discussions may become heated and can be political in nature, there is a distinct difference between a passionate discussion and one that is intended to offend and harm. Misinformation:
It is important to be clear and factual as misinformation is harmful to our collective work. Comments or replies containing false or misleading information will be hidden. Language and Trolling:
As a public, family-friendly page, we have zero tolerance for bullying or harassment of any kind. Negative comments relating to people’s race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or identity are also not allowed. Hate speech, bullying, or harassment in your comments or replies will get you blocked immediately. This constitutes the use of any kind of offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate content.

Local Officer Training for the central regions finished this weekend and these union activists are ready to serve their locals with strength and unity!

NAPE President Jerry Earle and Secretary-Treasurer Trevor King have been in Western and Central Newfoundland over the past few days, meeting with our incredible members.

Nothing is more impactful than speaking with members face-to-face to hear about the issues that matter most to them and being able to have a chat.

In Corner Brook, local officer training brought together members from across the region. Jerry and Trevor met with General Services members at the FFA Building, Campus Enforcement officers at Grenfell Campus, Paramedics in La Scie, HS and LX members in Baie Verte, Forestry and EMS members in Springdale, and members working in the courts, NLC, and SSWB in Grand Falls-Windsor.

Another local officer training session is also getting underway in Gander today where again members from the region are coming together for training.

There isn't a part of our province, a time of day, or a day of the week when a NAPE member isn't working.

Our province works because our members do.
