Unifor activists from across British Columbia will gather in downtown Vancouver to meet as a Regional Council for the first time since the formation of the inion.
Over 150 delegates will meet to strategize about campaigns and elect the 2014-2015 Executive Board and populate committees.
“This is a very exciting time for our union,” said Scott Doherty, Unifor’s Western Regional Director. “Rank-and-file members are the heart and soul of Unifor. Our Regional Council meetings are a chance for activists to shape the future of the union.”
Delegates will be discussing how to expand workers’ rights, protect collective bargaining, and grow Unifor. The agenda includes presentations on the union’s current projects such as the Good Jobs Summit and forming community chapters.
The Regional Council will also hear from Local 111 about its campaign to win the upcoming Metro Vancouver referendum on public transit.
Keynote speakers include BC Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair, Vancouver District Labour Council President Joey Hartman, and Member of Parliament for Burnaby-Douglas Kennedy Stewart.
