Fighting Back Matters!!!

Sisters and Brothers,
How true the above statement is and once again I want to thank you for your great work. Last year you showed our right-wing government and global corporations that we will continue to fight back until our voices are heard.

Last year was the worst year in our history regarding job losses to our members. Yet you never gave up. When corporations used the economic downturn to try and gut our collective agreements you fought back and continue to do so each and every day.

I personally would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank you for the significant contribution all of you make to strengthen our Union and to protect the rights of our members.

Due to your strength and commitment, the year 2010 will show our children and grandchildren that fighting back does matter and that it really makes a difference. The next generation deserves better than what the global corporations and governments are offering us. Our historical fight for working people must continue, our legacy must be that “fighting back matters” and this is what we need to leave the next generation, the passion to fight for a better life.

Sisters and Brothers, we are a strong, determined fighting Union. Together we will continue to be a real voice; one that makes real change for working people across our country.

In the words of Tommy Douglas (former leader of the NDP) “Courage my friends there is still time to build a better world”.

In solidarity,

Wayne Fraser
