Public Service Alliance of Canada BC

Hello to all fellow members,

My name is Tracy Shudo I would like to put my name in as an observer to the PSAC 2006 Triennial National Convention. I currently am a Treasurer in my local executive and an active member on the BC Human Rights Committee.

As a member that has recently become more involved I feel I am learning and helping effect change in my local union and as an active member on the BC HRC.

I am a person with quite a few challenges but there always seems to be more good days than bad. It is with this thought that I am asking for the help to go to this convention. I believe that with my strong values and passions about all issues that effect all equity groups that sit on the Human Rights Committee .I could explain with convention what some of our strongest concern’s are. Be it the division of the Aboriginal and Visible Minorities convention, or the Gay Lesbian Marriage and how this law must not be changed and last but not least the people with Disabilities group the work on duty to accommodate and the re employment of members that are on LWO due to illness. We as a union have a voice in all these issues pulse more.

My job as an observer would be to network with as many delegates as possible to try and make alliances with members that can help pass resolutions that are important to our equity groups. The most important issue would be to report back to all members the events that took place during convention.

I am honoured to even be concerned for this opportunity.

In Solidarity, Tracy Shudo
