Marianne Hladun
Marianne has been an active PSAC member for over 20 years and held various positions within the union during that time, until earning the PSAC Prairie Region’s top position after Robyn Benson, former PSAC Prairies REVP, was elected PSAC National President at the PSAC 16th National Triennial Convention in 2012.
Marianne’s extensive union experience includes Steward, Chief Steward, Vice-President and President of Local 40022 Agriculture Union, as well as National Human Rights Director for Agriculture Union since 1996, and Regional Vice-President of North Saskatchewan for Agriculture Union since 2011.
In 1999 she was elected as the North Saskatchewan Geographical Representative on the Prairie Region Council, a position she held until being elected Alternate Regional Executive Vice-President for the Prairie Region in 2008.
Though Marianne has been a staunch PSAC activist for years, she has also dedicated herself to the broader labour movement, holding the title of PSAC Vice-President to the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour since 2002. During this time, she sat on several SFL Committees including Education, Collective Bargaining/Labour Legislation, and Political Strategy – a committee that she chaired since 2008.
In 2006, the Saskatoon & District Labour Council appointed Marianne the Labour Representative on the United Way of Saskatoon and Area’s National Board of Directors. She is also heavily involved with NASHI, a registered charity that aims to divert at risk youth from human trafficking.
Marianne has worked for several federal government departments and agencies including Correctional Services of Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada and, most recently, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as a food inspector examining feed, fertilizer, seed potatoes, grains, field crops plant products, egg shell products, and honey.
