Introductions were made.

Guest Speaker - Amber Hockings

Amber Hockings - CLC representative, provided information on the Canadian Labour Congress and how their system works. All major national unions are affiliated to the CLC. The CLC is represented regionally by Labour Councils. There are currently 135 labour councils across the country. The Fraser Valley Labour Council will be affiliated in January 2007. It is important that we get involved in political action as union members have a larger number of voters. The CLC looks at major issues and helps to find out how the politicians are directing their votes and how we can influence them. They also provide information to the councils on issues for municipal and provincial elections. Non-union people may contact the CLC as well if they have labour issues. This sometimes results in new locals being developed. The CLC is working to change their education programs to suit the people they are there to help. They will be providing some courses on evenings and weekends. Locals are responsible to pay their own costs for any training.

Labour councils will be asked to give support to the promotion to have the government increase the minimum wage. Support is also needed for the “Not Working Alone” campaign.

We have a quorum with 3 of the 4 officers present and 4 locals represented.
