About meI just finished 12 years in an auto assembly factory. While at the factory I completed a couple of degrees with the Labour Studies department at McMaster University. Taking time away from the factory to study led to much time for union, anti-poverty, anti-war, anti-imperialist, counter-globalization activism. This also led to many chances to teach with the Canadian Auto Workers union and the local city college. I participated in the pilot year of the Global Labour University in 04/05. The internship portion of this programme was spent at the International Metalworkers' Federation in Geneva. I completed some research on the usefulness of the Framework Agreements signed by the Global Union Federations. I'm enjoying a break from full-time paid work and spending time with my four year old daughter.
