About Me

Hey! I am the National Youth Representative at the Canadian Labour
Congress. I began my activism within my home union the Canadian Auto Workers at the age of 18. As a delegate from CAW local 222, I was quickly elected as the first Durham Region Labour Council Youth Executive Board Member at Large. After that I started to change the union demographics within my local
by chairing and re-forming CAW local 222's youth committee, and ensuring youth
were involved in all issues and campaigns. Through my labour council activism,
I became one of Durham Region's CLC Municipal and “Better Choice”
Campaign organizers. More recently, I was seconded to the CLC in March of 2008, where I am the liaison for youth within the labour movement, and work hard to insure that youth are involved in all aspects of the union movement.
