Thank you so much CUPE delegates for your support! I draw strength and inspiration from our amazing members who work so hard, day in and day out. Working with you and for you is truly one of the great honours of my life. You are the reason I show up every day and keep fighting.

It was my pleasure to address delegates at the CUPE Airlines Division Convention. So proud to have these amazing workers as part of our union. They're the folks in the airline industry the flying public trusts. They are the ones that are keeping the skies safer and better for everyone. Solidarity!

30 years ago today I signed my CUPE union card. I was 16 years old, feisty by nature and very nervous. I never could have predicted that would be the start of my life’s work.
