The 56th Annual Division Convention May 26th – 29th
Local 2330 had 12 members attend the 2019 CUPE NS Convention in Membertou from May 26th – 29th. For some of our members who were in attendance it was their very first convention, and for some it was their last convention. It was a convention full of inspiration, enthusiasm, passion and solidarity.
One of the first highlights of convention for Local 2330 was when our brother and Secretary Treasurer, Neeraj Goli, introduced CUPE National President Mark Hancock. Raj was honoured to be asked to introduce Mark Hancock and revealed in the experience. Raj did an exceptional job and we were all so proud of him. Another major highlight for our local at this years convention was when Nan McFadgen was acclaimed for another term in her seat as CUPE NS President. Congratulations Nan, we are proud to have you as our division leader.
During committee elections, Local 2330 member President Rose Best was elected to the CUPE NS Pension Committee and Riverview Home Site Rep. Krysten Black was elected to the Global Justice Committee as a young worker. Congratulations sisters, these committees are lucky to have you both as committed and passionate activists.
During the whole of convention, brother Ralph Vickers was busy working behind the scenes and on stage as member of the Constitutional Amendments and Resolutions Committee. We are so thankful for his hard work.
It was a great convention with so many amazing unionists in attendance. We all walked away inspired and ready to return to our local with fresh new ideas to build towards a better future while making our existing foundation stronger. Here’s to next year!
