An open letter to members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Social Justice Fund, from Michael Ballard, UEW 20147 member.

April 10th, 2010, a small delegation of PSAC members travelled to Bolivia to meet with social justice project partner CEPROMIN. Thanks to the PSAC Social Justice Fund the small delegation was able to bear witness to the tremendous impact our union is having on small groups of miners in Bolivia. The trip started out with five delegates who are from the furthest reaches of Canada. From the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, North to Ekati diamond mine, two hundred miles below the Arctic Circle, all the way to the center of Canada in Ottawa. I was thrilled to be amongst the delegation who attended on behalf of PSAC and the Social Justice Fund. I am by no means a world traveler so I really have no reference, but I can tell you this, I see through new eyes now, I am changed and I can’t go back. (more…)

The Annual General Meeting of UEW 20147 will be held Thursday, February 19th, 2009 in Courtenay BC at the Coast Hotel. More information will be provided once an agenda and times are set.
