The strength of the Canada Employment and Immigration Union (CEIU) is our members. I am proud to serve as the new National President of CEIU and I look forward to connecting with members across the country.

My priorities for the near-term are fighting for fair telework rights and empowering members through union education. Some members don’t know how to access their union or how we can help, and that needs to change.

I’m excited to announce that Rubina Boucher was elected National Executive Vice-President and Helen King was voted in as Alternate National Executive Vice-President this week. I’d like to congratulate them both. These positions were voted on by the National Executive in accordance with the CEIU Bylaws. We now have a full executive to support our members.

Preparations are underway for our first National Young Workers Conference and our first National Health and Safety Conference, both taking place this September.

Education is a core part of CEIU’s work, so I’m pleased to remind you that the deadline for our National Scholarships is Aug. 30. You can find more information here.

The CEIU National Executive and I would love to hear from you, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. See our contact info here.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful summer!

In solidarity,

Phil Matheson
