Regional Council Delegates

 

Regional Councils and the Quebec Council are a democratic force for union activism, solidarity, and strength. They are forums of accountability and organizing centres which will involve and engage thousands of local union activists in the life of the union. Delegates are expected to be activists on behalf of Unifor, both in the Labour Movement and in their community. They are expected to take a leadership role in promoting the Unifor political action campaigns and to carry out various Unifor programs and activities. Delegates will be required to provide written reports of their activism to the Local 2002 Executive Board.
