Service Canada employees who interact with the public are being asked to stay away from terms like Mr. and Mrs. or father or mother, and to use gender-neutral terms in their place, CBC News has learned. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/service-canada-gender-neutral-1.4585629

There will be representation from CEIU Local 581 at this conference in Ottawa and we will be voting for our next PA bargaining team.

Please let your local union exec team know what the most important things are to you in the next round of bargaining, so we can go with our member’s mandate in mind.

Email localceiu581@gmail.comOr speak to Sara Johnson or another union exec member.

Thanking you in advance for your input.
