Sacagawea Croxen
Sacagawea works at Canadian National Railway in Montreal, Quebec. Dear Sisters and Brothers, I currently work in the Accounting Department. The duties and responsibilities of the Secretary-Treasurer encompass my over 30 years experience in accounting, payroll and bookkeeping. I have worked for several years as an Executive Administrator for the Board of Directors and Executive Committees where I acquired extensive working knowledge and organized monthly meetings and the annual meeting of the Board of Directors. I am a veteran in record-keeping, expense reports, T4 Summaries, proper accounting systems and filing reports to Federal or Provincial authorities which means I can “hit the ground running with my boots on”. Community involvement and education are important to me. I began volunteering in my teens and am an active volunteer in several charities to this day, thanks in part to my Grandfather, a retired VIA Rail and CN Railroader. A lifelong learner I continued my education and graduated with honours in finance and keep up-to-date by attending workshops and conferences. I am an active member of the Unifor United Workers of Diversity Committee and if elected you can count on my experience, enthusiasm, education and passion to do my best every day. I thank you for your consideration and support, In solidarity – Sacagawea Croxen, Local 4004 Read more about Sacagawea and her campaign here |

Denise Hampden
Denise works at VIA Rail Canada in Toronto, Ontario. She offered the following statements: Sisters and Brothers, I have been a proud member of the CBRT&GW, the CAW and now Unifor for 28 years. For 26 of those years I have represented the membership at VIA Rail in just about every elected position within the Local Union. I am active on a National level of the labour movement, attending Council meetings, provincial federation and Canadian Labour Congress events. I have also been involved at all three levels of government assisting to get candidates elected to office. I facilitate courses for all three organizations and am called upon regularly to be a guest speaker and share my expertise on the labour movement. Accountability, reliability and credibility are key components of the job of Secretary-Treasurer of Council 4000. I will be open and available to the members and I believe that communication with the members is key to building a stronger union. I am committed to these ideals and if elected I will ensure that these are integrated into the position of Secretary Treasurer. Some people get involved in the Union because they want to be something. I got involved and remain involved because I want to DO something. I thank you for your consideration and support.

I have over fifteen years of experience in CAW/Unifor transportation sector workplaces. I am presently Chief Shop Steward/Local Chair for Via Rail Agreement #2, representing Via's Onboard Services employees in Halifax and Moncton.
