CEIU (our component) – changes in leadership

Important Message for our members
This message is to advise our members that as a result of personal choice, Brother Steve McCuaig has made the decision to resign in his capacity as National President of CEIU.
Our NEVP, Brother Marco Angeli, has therefore been sworn in as National President and Sister Michelle Henderson has been sworn in as the National Executive Vice-President. The National Executive, at their meeting this weekend, will amongst themselves, elect an Alternate to the National Executive Vice-President for the remainder of the term of office as per the National By-Law 12.4.3.
Our National Executive pledges to you, our members, that we will work in solidarity. Our primary focus is on our membership. We ask you to respect the privacy of Brother McCuaig, and we thank him for his years of service to our component.
As we move forward, the onus of responsibility is on all of us to stand together against this governments assaults on the rights of workers and on our collective agreements. In 2015, we have the opportunity to elect a government who is both progressive and labour friendly. What we can achieve together is limitless. And the only way that we will accomplish our goals, is united.
Solidarity forever, sisters and brothers.
On Behalf of the CEIU National Executive
