Krista Puddester

I have been a VM steward with PIPSC since 2006 and your VM Atlantic representative since 2013, seeking re-election. I am a former employee of the CFIA Newfoundland and Labrador region and currently working for the Western Area Operational Specialists Unit as a Veterinary Program Officer. I attend quarterly Atlantic Area/OSH meetings, as well as meetings with the National CFIA-VM PIPSC Group Executive.

Most recently I have highlighted on an Area and National level, the loss of VM02 positions in the Atlantic Area. I represent Atlantic members individually in informal conflict resolutions and/or in the grievance process. I also make time to speak to members about concerns they may have and help with interpretation of the collective agreement.

Finally, I keep our Atlantic members up to date on collective bargaining, group grievances and other PIPSC issues that arise. I am currently a member of your Bargaining Team. I have a passion for supporting vets, especially those in my home Area!

Thank you for your continued support and I hope to continue to support you!
