National Officers come to Alberta

Christmas message from Marle Roberts
Dear friends,
On behalf of the Alberta Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, I’d like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season.
To our 35,000 members and to all Albertans – I hope the holidays allow time for family, friends, rest and relaxation.
As is tradition – I hope you will find time to reach out to those with less and provide a helping hand. A donation to a charity of your choice, a few hours of volunteer time, or even a kind word or deed can do a lot towards making our communities stronger and better places to live.
2015 has been a busy and historic year for our province and our union. Come January, we will return to the hard work of representing our members in our workplaces, and building a province where everyone shares in peace and prosperity. Until then, have a safe and happy holiday.
Sincerely,
Marle Roberts, President CUPE Alberta
