My name is Kim Valliere and I have been an active member of the Machinist Union for approx 22yrs. I believe that together we can build a strong Labour movement in Ontario and through union activity and community involvement help workers understand the importance of their involvement and voice in the constant fight for “Good Jobs”
The mandate of the Ontario Provincial Council of Machinists is to promote the interests of the membership in the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers throughout the province of Ontario, to unite within its fold all I.A.M.A.W Lodges in the province, fostering unity of purpose and action, providing leadership and direction and give effective voice to our mandate.
The labour Movement with the support of the Machinists Union has been fighting strong against the Governments that would like nothing more than to rip the heart of the Labour / Union movement in this Province apart, we need to stand strong in solidarity together now more than ever, and show that we will not walk away from the challenges that are before us and we will not sit idle while the governments of the day tear apart the very essence what we as workers in Ontario have fought long and hard for.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you do every day supporting each other as Machinist Union members, stay strong, in solidarity always
Sister Kim Valliere (OPCM, Pres)
