The PSAC Prairie Region held a webinar on April 8, 2015 to discuss the political rights of PSAC members and the different ways to get involved in the upcoming federal election, while staying within employer policies.

Employers may try to discourage employees from participating in political activitiy, but it's your democratic right. With a federal election looming and provincial elections to follow, watch the video of the webinar to find out how to exercise your political rights while protecting your jobs.

What was discussed:

The 44th International Convention of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) will be held in Chicago Illinois at the Hyatt Regency May 20-25, 2015.  The theme of the Convention is Owning Our Future-Building Our Community.

In March 2015, Stephanie Vandewater (CIU/Calgary) was selected to participate in the Education in Action project, sponsored by PSAC's Social Justice Fund. She kept a log of her experiences to share with other members.

Employers may try to discourage employees from participating in political activitiy, but it's your democratic right. With a federal election looming and provincial elections to follow, find out how to exercise your political rights while protecting your jobs on our next webinar.

The next federal election is scheduled to be held on October 19, 2015. To act a reminder of this, we are calling on members to mark this day on the 19th of each month with actions in their workplaces and locals.
