We are the elected representatives of roughly 13,000 unionized workers in the Kamloops area covering Merritt to Valemount and Chase to Lillooet.

Our affiliates work collaboratively to advance the economic and social welfare of workers and with other progressive organizations in the promotion of social justice and human rights as described in the United Nations’ Charter of Human Rights.

We are members of the BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress, the latter of which represents over three-million unionized Canadians.

Katie Neustaeter – Candidate for City Councillor

Katie Neustadter is the perfect candidate for Council. She has built her career around forging strong, respectful connections with stakeholders and community members. She is an honest, good natured, passionate and intelligent candidate whose integrity has been proven time and again in her role as Director of the Thompson/Nicola Regional United Way. I wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy, and would encourage anyone unsure of who to support to examine her platform, the three pillars of which are- Affordability, Accountability, Advocacy. I will be voting for Katie on October 15.

Bill Sarai – Candidate for City Councillor

Bill is the kind of person that when you're speaking with him, you know he's listening and hears you. Bill is well informed on city issues in a way that only comes from being passionate.

Arjun Singh – Candidate for Mayor

I've known Arjun for many years and can assure you that the person that he appears to be is the person that he is. There is no fake persona, just a genuinely nice person. Arjun has a deep connection and an obvious love for our city that comes out in every conversation. His many years of service and experience on city council and in the community makes him the perfect choice for Mayor of Kamloops.
