August 24th, 2024 marks a significant milestone: the one-year anniversary of Union of National Employees (UNE) siblings making history by electing two groundbreaking leaders within the PSAC. Pictured left, we have a Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQA+ woman with disabilities as President of a component – Alisha Kang (nee Campbell).
On the right, Ms. Hayley Millington, a Black (Trinidadian) woman, as our National Executive Vice President.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) only handed over the reins to us on March 6, 2024, and yet we are already a third of the way through our mandate. We have gigantic feats to accomplish in the next two years, but do not despair. As workers, we are accustomed to having the odds stacked against us and making the impossible, possible. Together, UNE siblings, will build a new structure that upholds members as never before.
We must not fear the difficult discussions ahead of us and the collective work it shall take us to get there. The only constant is change and we are in a time of great evolution. I cannot wait to see what we build together.
