Have a Wonderful Labour Day Weekend

While others might talk about how a system is broken and looking for a spark. Tired and old leadership without the ability to light the imagination of the rank and file with a YES WE CAN ATTITUDE. A leadership that wants all the power at the top and then wonders where the rank and file is; needs to be changed. A rank and file lead union that educates, mobilizes and engages is what the membership needs. That is the spark that will lead to change that is needed and that will lead to being heard in the political arena. I have heard from so many saying that I am no longer a CEP member there is nothing that I can do. This must change.

But as we enjoy the labour day take some time to reflect on the struggles that have happened before us. There were many gains made by working people of this country and none of it was easy. Yes we are in another struggle, how do we engage our friends, family and neighbors to come together to see and understand that collectively we can accomplish and have accomplished so much. There is a need to see hope and that a difference is being made.

As we head into the fall there will be many new developments. But for right now enjoy and if you are coming to one of the many labour day functions across the country remember to take a family member, friend or co-worker. If your unable to make it to one of the many functions take a moment to reflect on all those that have struggled before us to get what we enjoy.
