Grey-Bruce Labour Council Sees Change at Executive

For Immediate Release, May 28th, 2012 Grey-Bruce Labour Council Sees Change at Executive The Grey-Bruce Labour Council, the voice of workers in the Grey-Bruce region for over fifty years, elected a new President, Vice-President and Trustee in a mid-term by-election in Hanover on May 28th, 2012. Affiliate Unions, through their Delegates, supported Hazel-Pratt-Paige (CAW), Brad Drake (UFCW) and Becky Thompson (OPSEU) as newly the elected President, V-P for Grey and Trustee. The by-election was brought about as long standing President Dave Trumble has taken on a new role within the Labour Movement as a Staff Officer within his Union. Gogi Bhandal, CLC Staff, conducted the elections and the Council offers thanks for her dedication and assistance. The remaining Executive positions remain unchanged and are Anna Morrison (OECTA), Kevin MacKay (PWU), Mike Dunn (PWU) and Len Hope (CAW and CURC). Over the weeks leading to this meeting the Council had prepared for the pending leadership change. Past President Dave Trumble who is going to remain a delegate to Council noted that �it is clear that the work of ensuring dignity and respect for working people is sustained in the light of unprecedented attacks from government and corporations will be taken on with commitment and vigor by the new Executive and all Delegates to the Grey-Bruce Labour Council�. Newly elected President Hazel made note of her, Brad�s and Becky�s long standing experience with Labour Council �and with the strength of this rural Council and our Affiliate Unions, Friends and Partners there is little doubt that the entire Grey-Bruce Labour Council Executive and Delegates will remain a very strong voice for workers in our Region�.
