Dear Members,
Here is some important information regarding the next two weeks.
Information Sessions
The meeting between PSAC Local 610 and national representation of the PSAC, facilitated by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), is coming up! The meeting is on July 24th at 5:30 p.m. in SSC 2050. Information is still being provided during information sessions (the sessions are only a ten minute commitment). The last sessions will be held on:
Tuesday July 17th 5:00 p.m. SH2355
Wednesday July 18th 3:00 p.m. SH2316
Thursday July 19th 12:00 p.m. UCC 41
A video of an information session was live streamed, and it is still available on your Local's Facebook page, which can be found here. The first 10 minutes of the video is the session itself, the remainder is Q & A. Be sure to like the Facebook page, and to follow it, to get up to date information.
Grad Club Event
On Thursday July 19th at 7:00 p.m. we will be hosting a membership get-together at the Grad Club, where you can chat with members and discuss what will happen on the 24th. More importantly, some food will be provided.
Testimonials
We realize that it is the summer, and not everyone can attend the July 24th meeting. The CLC wants to hear from members, so we decided, as a Local, to solicit testimonials from members. These testimonials are non-confidential, please include your name, and should be no longer than 500 words (too long and they will likely be ignored). Having members present during the meeting will have the biggest impact, but if members, who cannot make it, still wish to raise their concerns these testimonials will be provided to the CLC.
Send your testimonials to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Be informed, and come out on the 24th!
In Solidarity,
PSAC 610
