As reported in an earlier article, P\u0251ssport Canada members will be staying with the UNE.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was also a great opportunity to extend our thanks to Garry Larouche, who announced that he will be retiring sometime after convention. Garry has been involved with our union since 1977 and was a powerful voice on many TC-group bargaining teams.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Yung was also thanked for his service to our union, as he will be taking a hiatus from his assistant regional vice-president position during the next mandate. Andy was given kudos for his talents with numbers and his skills with hospitality suites.<\/p>\n<p>After the conclusion of the National Executive meeting, it was off to the races! \u2026the race to tackle convention resolutions, that is. There were three convention committees charged with examining all the resolutions that will be presented at convention.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, there were over 60 resolutions submitted to convention. Members will be able to peruse these resolutions shortly, once we put the finishing touches on each committee\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.une-sen.org\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/execphoto.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"execphoto\" src=\"http:\/\/www.une-sen.org\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/execphoto.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group photo taken during the national executive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Executive met recently, in a meeting that was largely dominated by convention preparations.
