Candidate Answers
As a self-employed individual, I am not a union member.
As I am currently a Director within my organization I am ineligible to be a member of the UWBC union, CUPE 1760, but value our positive working relationship and collaborative approach to all aspects of our organizational structure.
I’m now considered a retired Unifor member. In the past I have belonged to PSAC and the Newspaper Guild. I am not asking for an endorsement; I leave it to my brothers and sisters to make that decision based on my record and history.
I am a union member. However I have not sought their endorsement.
I am self-employed so not a part of a union. However, I am previously a member of both the BCGEU and IWA.
