NWT Area Council – General Meeting

All members are invited to attend the General Meeting, however, only delegates have voice and vote concerning motions.

Political action is the core of the Area Councils’ work. PSAC North includes three Area Councils, one each for the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. They help steer the union politically, organizing responses to federal and local governments and to employers when their policies and regulations are not in our members’ interests. They may organize to lobby their political representatives and devise campaigns to educate and raise awareness of issues affecting our members, workers, and the Canadian public. Area Council members also work with community partners, build links with other Labour groups, and send members to PSAC Regional and National Conventions.

All members are invited to attend the General Meeting, however, only delegates have voice and vote concerning motions.
