EDMONTON - CUPE locals in Alberta are invited to submit nominations for the
CUPE Alberta 2006 Equality award. The award will be presented at the CUPE
Alberta Convention in Fort McMurray, March 23-25, 2006.
The Equality award recognizes a CUPE activist whose work on equality issues
has made a difference in promoting equality and challenging discrimination
against our sisters and brothers. Equality issues include activism on
women’s rights, disability issues, childcare issues, racism and
discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Previous recipients of the award are: Barb Ames (2000), Trudy Casselton
(2001) Joey Sayer (2002) Tom Dick (2003) and Ian Crichton (2004).
Nominations should include a profile of your nominee, as well as a brief
outline of how the activist’s contribution to the labour movement has
assisted trade unionists. The deadline for nominations is February 3, 2006.
