Throughout my career
I have held numerous elected positions and done committee work. As an elected
officer I was a contract chairperson under CALFA (Canadian Airline Flight
Association). When we merged with CUPE I
held the positions of Local Vice-President, acting Local President, Component
Vice-President, hotel chairperson, tabulating Chair Person, and union organizer
for Royal Airlines. I was also a
committee member during the Airline Division Convention in Vancouver.
During those years I
attended many courses, seminars and conventions.
Since joining
Canadian Pacific in 1979 I have flown as both Purser and a Flight Attendant.
My vision for the
Local is a full reorganization of how the work is done. One of my first tasks
will be mandatory educational courses for all the elected officers of the local
to
better serve the
membership. Another item high on my
agenda is communication. I believe the
membership should be informed in a timely manner of all union activity.
I would also like to
see member involvement in courses and committee work. Since the abolition of the old structure of
the Airline Division we are lacking representation on the Federal Platform.
VOTE for me as your
Local President and I promise you that:
- I will be visible
- I will be accessible at all times
- I will listen to all our members
- I will work for you 110%
- I will work with all the elected VP's you choose
In solidarity I
remain,
Denis Montpetit
Local 4092 Candidate
