A Message from Our Leadership
We would like to welcome you as a new member of the SAOU!
The SAOU is an active union and you will hear from the Provincial Secretary, the Full-Time Trade Union Representative and the SAOU's representative in your school on a regular basis.
The SAOU offers you several benefits. One of these is a sophisticated and focused training program, which will significantly help strengthen your knowledge and skills to perform in the classroom. Offered largely through virtual platforms, these programs assist thousands of members each month with their professional development. The SAOU Online is the first of its kind. This manual is not only a complete source of SAOU webinars, but it also contains all possible documents to assist you in your daily tasks in the classroom. The SAOU is the first union who has succeeded in taking service delivery to this level – free to all SAOU members.
When you decided on a union, you had a choice. We are glad that you chose the SAOU. In our experience SAOU members show an increased attitude of GIVING, RATHER THAN RECEIVING. And that, colleagues, warms our SAOU hearts.
Welcome to our SAOU family!
