The monthly meeting

 

On Monday the 19th of January 2009 there will be a meeting to swear in the new executive members of our local lodge. The term begins on that date and lasts three years. During this period the executive members will manage and administer the local lodge and account for their activities, to the members at the monthly meeting. From there, members can debate and then either ratify or reject all the decisions submitted to them.

 

This Monday, among other subjects open for discussion, you will need to decide on a change to our local lodge by-laws. Presently the rule stipulates that of the 5 members of the negotiation committee, the president of the union and the president of the shop committee are automatically in, whereas the other 3 members are elected. The proposed change would make all 5 positions elective. Your opinion can make a difference and your vote has as much weight as that of a member of the executive committee...

 

This is the kind of involvement I expect from you, because it is in the interest of all of us.

 

The Monthly meeting is held every third Monday of each month. The next one will be held on

Pan-Canadian day of protest against Bill C-484

On September 28, say “No” to Bill C-484 

Bill C-484, the "Unborn Victims of Crime Act" passed second reading in Parliament last March... This bill would make it a separate offence to injure or kill a foetus during a crime committed against a pregnant woman.

However, this bill is insidious. On the pretext of better protecting pregnant women, it could imperil women’s rights and autonomy. If it was adopted, it would establish the foetus as a new legal entity, a precedent which would set the table for challenging the right to abortion, and which could also lead to the criminalisation of certain pregnant women for behaviour deemed to be dangerous for the foetus. This bill is not an adequate response to address the issue of violence against women, whether or not they are pregnant.

Bill C-484, actively supported by extremely active anti-choice groups, must not be allowed to pass the next vote in the House of Commons. This is why a large Canada-wide day of protest is scheduled for Sunday September 28, 2008, with protests being staged in many large Canadian cities, in order to state vigorously that the population opposes this bill that will turn the clock back 20 years for women’s rights.

Block Sunday September 28, 2008 in your planners right away, speak to your colleagues, friends, relatives, and come out in large numbers to say No to Bill C-484!

For more information on Bill C-484 and details regarding the Montreal protest, we urge you to visit the web site of the FQPN www.fqpn.qc.ca and the FFQ www.ffq.qc.ca.

There is not a month that goes by that we are witness to another company closing but not due to financial difficulties but by voracity increasing of their profits. Goldbrand (clothing), Crocs (sandals), Cari-All (carriages of grocer), Petromont, and now, Flextronics. All these company’s have thrown thousands of workers on to the street to please the shareholders.  Let us not be indifferent to the fate of our colleagues and fellow-members. Let us support them. Change visit to support change fell to feel other trade unions are always appreciated because they don’t fell alone in these difficult moments. it is a small act which makes other feel good… and with our self. I take this opportunity to call on particular trade unions which factories are close to Flextronics (Air Canada, Bombardier, etc),  to give a gesture of solidarity.. With the pleasure of seeing many of you at this gathering. The president of the Council, Michel Ducharme 

LET US SHOW OUR SUPPORT AND OUR SOLIDARITY TOWARDS OUR COLLEAGUES AND OUR FELLOW-MEMBERS COME AND JOIN THEM A FEW MINUTES AT THIS GATHERING. THE FELLOW-MEMBER MICHEL ARSENAULT, PRESIDENT OF THE QFL, WILL BE PRESENT.
