A few months ago, we featured an article that put the spotlight on four Union of National Employees members whom had been selected to attend the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) Labour College. Today, we are proud to announce that these four superstars have graduated (with high honours, most likely!).
The grads are: Sandra Bello (Assistant Regional Vice-President, Ontario Region), Layne Carr-Wyatt (Occupational Health & Safety Representative for Local X0150 in Nunavut), Jennifer Chieh Ho (Regional Vice-President, BC & YT Region), and Michèle Milotte (Regional Vice-President, NCR-Separate Employers Region).
Each year, the CLC hosts thousands of union members seeking to enrich their knowledge of labour issues. The CLC Labour College offers an intensive program aimed at labour activists who wish to improve their leadership skills.
In his book Canadian Labour in Crisis, David Camfield notes that: “[…] union education provides an introduction to critical ways of understanding society that are almost never on offer in other forms of adult education or in the corporate media.”
Congratulations to our Labour College grads for having completed this most unique and worthwhile opportunity.
