NAPE Launches New and Improved Website  

ST. JOHN’S, NL – The Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Public and Private Employees (NAPE) officially launched its new website today at: www.nape.nf.ca

“Over the past few months, we have been working to build a more user friendly, modern and informative website to improve communications with our members,” said NAPE President Carol Furlong. “We are proud to launch our new and improved website today which accomplishes these goals.”

In addition to the look and feel, there are several ways in which this new site has been dramatically improved in terms of functionality. In particular, it is now faster and easier for NAPE members to view and search through NAPE’s collective agreements. We believe this feature is unique to NAPE’s website.

The new site also features a “Message from the President” feature which gives the union the ability to post video messages, alerts and updates to members, the media and the general public on important issues, such as collective bargaining negotiations, in a timely manner.

NAPE represents over 25,000 public and private sector workers across Newfoundland and Labrador.
