Elections for Unifor Council 4000 Secretary Treasurer and Regional Representatives
April 3, 2015
Nominations closed on Wednesday, March 25th for the upcoming elections for the full-time position of Secretary Treasurer and the 7 full-time positions of Regional Representatives for Unifor National Council 4000.
Ron Shore and Dave Kissack re-elected to new three year terms as Regional Representatives
We are pleased to report that Ron Shore, Regional Representative for Council 4000’s Mountain Region and Local 4001, and Dave Kissack, Regional Representative for the Council’s Prairie Region and Local 4002, have been re-elected by acclamation. Brother Shore was first elected in 2009 and acclaimed in 2012. Brother Kissack was also first elected in 2009, and won the subsequent election in 2012. Their new three year terms start on July 1, 2015. We congratulate both and wish them well in their future endeavours. The experience they bring to their positions is an asset to our membership.
Vacancy to the Secretary Treasurer position
The three year term for the position of Secretary Treasurer does not end until the end of 2016, but present incumbent Heather Grant has decided to retire from VIA Rail, and consequently her position as Secretary Treasurer of Council 4000, a job she has held since 2007. Prior to that, Sister Grant was the Regional Representative for the Council’s Atlantic Region and Local 4005. That is the cause for the election of Secretary Treasurer.
The term for the newly elected Secretary Treasurer will be from July 1, 2015 to the end of 2016, at which time nominations will be opened at the National Council 4000 Convention in October 2016 for both the Secretary Treasurer position and National Council President.
More on Heather Grant’s departure in the weeks ahead.
