Have you ever been asked, “What has the union done for us?” As union activists, we know how much we benefit from our collective agreements, but not everyone knows how much we’ve fought for and the gains we’ve made in the past.

Based on feedback and suggestions from PSAC members and local leaders across the Prairies, we’re moving forward with a video project to put faces to our members and give an outlet to share our stories and successes from the past. This will be an important resource for us to help all members learn about our history and build solidarity.

Last month, PSAC held leadership meetings across the country, including five in the Prairie Region. The purpose was to kick off the next phase of our We are ALL Affected campaign by taking it directly to our members. The meetings were meant to inform and train local presidents to organize and recruit others to hold one-to-one conversations with all their members. These conversations are designed to connect with members, hear their concerns and talk about the issues facing them and their union today.

As June approaches, so do Pride festivities throughout the Prairie Region. Pride is an opportunity to celebrate diversity in the GLBT community, and recognize the contributions and accomplishments of our GLBT sisters and brothers.
