DCL Rep
Prairie Region Council November 2016
Since the last PRC Meeting things have slowed down, well other then local issues. I want to thank Marianne on listening to the issues I presented in my last report about lack of communication about arbitration dates not getting forwarded to my local. I can say for my local this issue was fixed and it was fixed promptly.
I know the DCL at University of Saskatchewan had a welcome back to school for their members. From what I read it was a success.
I am currently brainstorming on ideas for my local around privatization whether it be a rally in conjunction with Sasktel or just leaflets about the Casino and the benefits to keep it a crown, as we know Brad Wall basically said people just have to put a price on SaskTel for it to be sold. This is and I think will always be in the backs of our minds. I know what the members feel like at SaskTel with the threat of being sold and the rumours will never go away.
I have taken part in the Pride Parade, attended the Sisters in Spirit Vigil, Walk in Remembrance of Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women. I have attended the Area Council Meetings, Human Rights Committee Meetings and The Women’s Committee Meetings.
