The New Council 4000 Website
September 1, 2013
In conjunction with the start of our new union, Unifor, National Council 4000 has rolled out our new website; unifor4000.com. The new site has a bright, modern, streamlined design using a more up-to-date platform than our previous sites. It has more interactive and social media features and will allow for better access and viewing on smartphones and tablets. Unifor Council 4000 President Barry Kennedy said that he plans to focus on improving the Council's communication and this is the first step, along with a new Facebook and Twitter page.
"Life is different today, a bit more hectic for members and their families. I'm not suggesting that in the 1980's and 1990's that union members came out to union meetings in droves, but the turnouts today are much less than that of 20-30 years ago", explained Kennedy.

"Members are busy today, and sometimes the agendas that are laid out at some membership meetings does not address the issues that members find important or interesting. So we need to improve our meetings, but more importantly, be more effective in bringing the important and interesting information to our membership. If members can't make it out to meetings, than we must rely on today's communications and social networking to get our message and information out by bringing it to them", said Kennedy.
In addition to this website, Kennedy has set up a new Unifor Council 4000 Facebook page, a new Twitter account (twitter.com/Unifor4000) as well as his own Twitter account - twitter.com/PrezUnifor4000. "I hope that Twitter will allow me to communicate quicker in short fashion as it is intended instead of updating a website", said Kennedy. Feeds to all three accounts will be featured on unifor4000.com.
A Communications Committee has been appointed to work on keeping communications current and informative, both on unifor4000.com, Facebook and Twitter.
