Early morning caucuses at PSAC Convention

The PSAC Convention is fast approaching and we hope you’re as excited as we are! We’d like to quickly inform you that the Union of National Employees will hold caucuses during the PSAC Convention.

Caucus meetings are extremely helpful; it’s our time to discuss resolutions, meet candidates and talk about other issues among fellow UNE members (it’s also a good place to get that first jolt of morning java!).

All caucus meetings will take place at the Ottawa Convention Centre at 55 Colonel By Drive. We have arranged for simultaneous translation during all our meetings.

Your attendance at these meetings is mandatory, unless you must attend another caucus (such as equity caucuses). If you are unable to attend, please inform your Regional Vice-President.

We know that getting up in the morning isn’t always easy… that’s why we’re luring you with a full breakfast and beverages of the caffeinated variety! The Union of National Employees will provide a full breakfast for all caucus members, including Area Council members, equity delegates and observers. Breakfast will be served starting at 6:45 a.m.; the caucus starts promptly at 7:30 a.m. (please remember not to claim per diem for those meals).

Here is the caucus schedule:

We look forward to seeing all of you in the National Capital Region for a great convention!

Day of action

When the clock strikes noon on March 1, take to the streets and stand up for public services.

The Harper government wants to make reckless cuts to public services that Canadians rely on. Its austerity plan will have a devastating impact on families and communities across Canada.

Asking Canadians to choose between a strong economy and strong public services: it’s absurd! Canadians need both. On March 1, join thousands of workers across the country and demand better.

Ask your colleagues to stand with you; the only way we can win is if we stand together.
