The cross-country discussion on strengthening local unions in Unifor has begun with the first Local Union Task Force (LUTF) town hall Regina.
The June 22 meeting attracted Unifor local executives, shop stewards and members from Regina and communities such as Moose Jaw and Esterhazy.
The discussion was lively, engaging, providing great feedback and suggestions for strengthening membership engagement in their locals.
It was the first of dozens of such meetings planned across Canada in the coming months. Another was held a few days later in St. Catharines, launching the town halls in Ontario.
The town halls are part of the important LUTF project launched by Unifor after the Presidents Conference in April.
“We are a diverse national union and we will only get stronger through greater communication and mobilization of our members from coast to coast to coast. The heart of that mobilization is the local,” Unifor National President Jerry Dias said.
