Over the past five and a half months I have had the pleasure of spending my best vacation ever with you. It’s taken a month of vacation time but I have criss crossed this province from Grand Prairie to Medicine Hat, Lethbridge to Fort McMurray and all points in between.
I have had the pleasure of hearing about the issues facing you and your coworkers directly from you. I want to thank you for sharing your lived experience with me. I am flattered that you have entrusted me with your experiences and I can’t think of a better bunch of people to take on this fight with. Your voice is invaluable if we hope to see the change we need in this province and create a labour movement that truly reflects its members.
I can’t wait to build upon this knowledge over the next term as we work to build our movement. We will unite and insist on the change we need to see shoulder to shoulder with Albertans from every sector across our fine province.
