“On behalf of the Executive Board of the Society of United Professionals, IFPTE Local 160, I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Team Unite CLC: Bea Bruske for Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) President, Lily Chang for Secretary-Treasurer, and Siobhan Vipond for Executive Vice-President. A strong, effective, and united CLC is important for all unions and workers in Canada, but this is especially true for smaller affiliates, like the Society, who do not always have the same in-house resources as larger affiliates. By pooling our resources with other unions through the CLC, the Society and our members are able to leverage and benefit from the CLC’s programs in worker education, public advocacy, and political action. As such, the strategic vision, strength, and effectiveness possessed by leadership at the CLC matters a great deal to myself and to our members.”
Michelle Johnston
President, Society of United Professionals, IFPTE 160 -
“It’s great to see a team of dynamic, dedicated women running to lead the CLC. Bea, Lily, and Siobhan will bring refreshing change and new perspective to the CLC and the labour movement, and that’s good for all of us.”
Martin O'Hanlon
President, CWA Canada -
“Canada’s labour movement must come together not just to defend the interests of workers and communities, but to organize for racial, social and economic justice. Team Unite will build unity and strength from the ground up. Bea Bruske, Lily Chang and Siobhan Vipond, together with Larry Rousseau, have the diversity of experience and leadership skills to make the change we need.”
Chris Aylward
National President, Public Service Alliance of Canada -
“We need to build the power of working people to defend our rights at work and in our communities. Bea, Lily and Siobhan have already done much for workers at every level of our union movement. We look forward to all they will do for working people at the helm of the CLC.”
