Among others, they include the participation of the national president and a workshop on submitting resolutions to convention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were able to submit a resolution on-the-spot,\u201d explained Laurin.<\/p>\n<p>Since the last convention, any member can submit a resolution as long as it is co-signed by five other members in good standing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UNE simplified the process,\u201d he added. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to spend as much time crafting resolutions. Here\u2019s our idea: here\u2019s what we propose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s short. It\u2019s sweet. It\u2019s clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related:<\/i><\/b><i> You have until April 11 to submit your resolutions! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.une-sen.org\/press\/?p=3293\">Find out more here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Laurin will soon have the privilege of voting on his own resolution, since, during the seminar, he was elected as a youth delegate to convention. Given the current political climate, he feels that it\u2019s incumbent upon young workers to get involved in the union now before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of baby boomers are going to be retiring. When that knowledge leaves \u2013 if we don\u2019t have youth getting engaged and actively participating \u2013 we\u2019re going to be shredded to pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurin feels that it\u2019s important for the union to let youth know that they\u2019re being heard. Having youth delegates at convention is one of the ways our union tries to give young workers a strong voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t just continuously rely on our more senior and experienced union members; we need to start looking at the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something pretty cool about the NCR-Separate Employers region; they represent such a diverse group of workplaces!
