Hello friends, 

I have been nominated for the position of National Vice President (NVP) for Women. I would like your support and will commit to being a strong and inclusive representative.

The women’s movement has been strong and proud. It has taken on issues that have benefited all. We need to stand up and be “loud and proud” in all national and local forums. I am willing and able to be that voice on your behalf at our National Executive committee.

I have a no-nonsense approach and believe in getting things done, not just talking, but doing. I am confident we can move our cause to the height that it deserves. This approach has been developed through personal experience. I was a victim of discrimination at one point in time; However, I wouldn’t accept that, I filed a Human Rights complaint and won my case at the Human Rights Commission. We all need to speak up when we see wrong doing.

I want to take action regarding affordable daycare and work to ensure that the employer has mental health first aiders in each and every branch. Violence in any form is unacceptable and we need to talk openly about it and keep fighting for equal pay for work of equal value.

As a leader in this union, I have won grievances related to Duty to Accommodate, Harassment and various cases regarding our Collective Agreement.

I have organized gatherings for our members to keep them informed, including a meeting with our bargaining team during negotiations and taking part in orientation sessions for new employees to inform them of their rights.

We need to work together and support one another; we need to uplift our sisters with positive actions that speak louder than words. This is my goal, to find ways to engage the women’s committees that will advance our collective cause and bring us equality.

I have the passion and the drive to get things done. I hope I can count on your support.

Thank you for your time,

Linda Delaney 

ELECT CHRISTINE WALKER 

National Vice President for Women’s Issues – Western Canada 

“#theFutureisNow” – To better respond to the concerns of all members, there is yet an unfulfilled role on all National Committees of the employer and the Union to promote policies and procedures relating to all women that work for various departments within our component. The recently adopted structure seeks to strengthen the role of the two women 

NVP’s representing Eastern and Western CEIU. 

Since 2002, I have consistently held leadership positions at the regional and national levels of CEIU and have excellent knowledge of the structure of our union and how we can work to further our goals within the Public Service Alliance of Canada. 

Having been an Appointed Deputy Trustee since March 2016, I am cognizant of, and proposed, the new vision to secure representation from each region working within the newly formed National Women’s Committee. I see this as making us a more inclusive and engaged union. 

I am open-minded and honest; I will create awareness while respecting equity. You have an unprecedented opportunity to cast your VOTE to energize CEIU for the 2017 to 2020 term of elected National Executive. Please elect me to carry your vision forward into the future. 

• Create Awareness, Respect Equity

WILL TAKE PLACE AT 457 RICHMOND ST. LONDON, ON

IN 6TH FLOOR BRRAK ROOM

FRIDAY MARCH 10TH AND TUES. MARCH 14TH AT LUNCHTIME

From the very first day of my involvement with the Union, my main drive is and will always be the defense of the workers’ RIGHTS, as defined and specified in the various books that govern our activities and involvements. 

Commitment

My personal commitment to you is that I will be working closely with you, the Local presidents, more than never before, and be the voice and face of the members at the Executive table. My commitment to our members could be defined around four axes:

–       Our members rights to be properly and fully informed, with respect to the Local Bylaws and Executives decisions

–       Our members rights to participate in union activities and events, with the negotiation of a new MOU with IRCC Senior officials

–       Our members rights to a fair representation, based on the Terms and Conditions of employment protected by the Collective Agreement

–       Defense of all human rights, imprescriptible and inalienable

Method

I came from Community organizations, where decisions are made by consensus during a collegial process. That’s the functioning way I better understand and it will be the way I fulfill my mandate if elected. Inclusiveness will be my method. 

I feed on my environment to give more sense to my Union involvement.

Who Am I?

So, to give you a little idea of ​​myself, here is a summary of my public commitments: I am actively involved in defending the right to decent housing. I am involved in organizations that helps immigrants find job for a better integration in the Canadian society; that promotes cultural diversity; that defends solidarity with mining workers in other countries; and that works on reducing mental health. I am a member of ecological movements.

I will bring to the VPN for IRCC position my experience and skills of mobilization, clear definition of specific objectives and how to reach them or get them done.

I am bilingual and centrally located, with my residence at the National Capital Region.

Should you like to know more about my ideas on this position, please email me or call at: 613-897-4991

Thanks for your vote of solidarity,

Antoine
