I've been a little preoccupied lately...

It has been a little while since I have had the time to post anything to this site and to be honest I've had other issues to deal with, such as complete knee replacement surgery on both knees since early January. This was very successful in both instances. Also, since retiring from the normal day to day stresses of the Union, I have been dealing with things like my garden. That being said, I cannot completely divest myself of my former interests in organized labour and the politics that impacts the daily lives of working people. In order to keep some of the information on this page current, I have added a newsfeed at the bottom of the sidebar on the left from Labourstart.

Also, my former Local has completed their elections after a runoff was required. I would like to congratulate Richard and Anne Marie in their successful campaigns and wish them success in their new positions, (it goes without saying that they will need all of the help they can get in these times.)
