8th Canada Council Conference
Fifty delegates from local unions representing workers in Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta gathered in early September for the 8th BCTGM Canadian Council.
During the two days, local union leaders listened to speeches, compared notes for representing workers in today’s Canadian workplaces and caught up with one another as friends and union siblings.
Speeches included a rousing address by President Magalie Picard of the Federation de Travailleurs-Quebec Federation of Labour, and a presentation on strategic preparation for negotiations Melanie Laroche from the University of Montreal.
