YUKON REGIONAL ABORIGINAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) hosted the official launch of the Yukon Regional Aboriginal People's Committee on March 24th, 2009.
This union committee is part of a national network and provides a forum where Aboriginal members can come together to organize, strategize, and mobilize around issues within the union and in the workplace, as well as with their allies in the social justice community.
