Anti-Privitization conference and Rally

Greeting Folks!
Just to let you know some of your Local 009 council (8) of us had an opportunity to attend the Anti-Priv conference held in Edmonton the past couple of days.
What a great conference it was! Remember privatization affects all of us and our families and Albertans.


Here is a picture of us working hard to get some PERM Ideas!
