Unifor Local 27 Retirees Chapter

Retired from the job, but not the fight

June 4th Retirees Meeting

Posted on January 11, 2015


On June 4th the Unifor Local 27 Retirees Chapter had one of it's busiest meetings ever featuring 6 guest speakers.
The speakers included Katha Fortier, Ontario Unifor Director, Brieanna Angel from Middlesex London E.M.S. and Barb Dolan from the National Unifor Women’s Committee.

We had also arranged for Ontario NDP candidates Teresa Armstrong - London-Fanshawe, Judy Bryant - London-North-Centre and Peggy Sattler - London West to attend the meeting for a question and answer session.

There was also a presentation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of the moneys collected from the euchre tournament and raffle. Agnes Murray's excellent efforts resulted in a donation of $2080! Mike Kirk, Georgina Anderson's son attended the meeting and made the cheque presentation.

Brieanna Angel from Middlesex London E.M.S. Gave us an excellent presentation on The Cool-Aid program and health issues for seniors. Both Katha and Barb gave us impassioned talks on the need to keep Tim Hudak's Conservatives out of power and all three London NDP candidates, Teresa, Peggy and Judy, talked on the NDP position on several issues and fielded questions during a question and answer session.
