District 78 Holds December General Meeting, Followed by Celebratory Social
On Thursday, December 12, 2019, IAM District Lodge 78 held its December General Meeting, followed by a social to celebrate the holidays and to cap another successful year of organizing, political action, and fighting for workers’ rights.
Discussion and motions at the meeting included:
- Upcoming Stewards Training (dates to be confirmed).
- Setting up a committee to investigate establishing a District 78 bursary for post-secondary students.
- IAM Canadian Women’s Conference on October 4-9, 2020. (Sisters are encouraged to get involved through their local women’s committees and are being asked for conference ideas.)
- Initiatives from Local Lodge Women’s Committees, including Local 2113’s charity bake sale and collection for the holiday food drive, and Local 1231’s feminine hygiene product collection for women in need.
- The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at our workplaces. (For instance, at Magellan Aerospace the Security Guards have been given notice as a result of the implementation of AI.)
- Review of monthly District financials.
