Other Business/Round Table |
Comment was made that under Better together /Collective bargaining and that there is a link to read about a group’s status. Once you click on the link, and there is nothing there and what is there is not correct. Also there was mention of a promotional item (car sunshade) that is a good idea. Dean will be working with Yvonne for the knowledge transfer for the Consultation portfolio Yvonne wants to organize either a Photo op or solidarity walk for the PIPSC AGM. |
