UNA
Union Agreements and Resources
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The United Nurses of Alberta app connects nurses with their union. This app provides direct links to breaking news, collective agreements, resources, UNA events, and more.
With access to DMS, members with UNAnet accounts can update their contact information, submit Expense Claims and LOA Requests, Professional Responsibility Concern forms, and Occupational Health & Safety forms; and Local Executives can do informational searches of their members and duespayers. Local Executives and committee members can also manage Expense Claims and LOA Requests, as well as PRC and OH&S forms.
Members with UNAnet accounts can also have an electronic version of their UNA Membership Card right in the app!
Optional push notifications provide updates on the status of expense claims, leaves of absence requests, submitted PRC and OH&S concerns, and other related items.
UNA is the union for more than 35,000 Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses and allied workers in Alberta.
more Members can now see additional information about the Locals in which they hold active memberships:
• which agreement they’re covered by
• a listing of who their Local Executives are
• the UNA LRO and Administrative Assistant contact
• contact information for the above people
This can be accessed from the Home section of the DMS tab by tapping on the "Member of" item.
