YFL President Alex FurlongPresident's Message
I am pleased to report that our fall training and education courses were a huge success. We have posted our 2010 calendar on our website. Please take a moment to follow the education link to see the many courses we offer in health and safety, labour education and professional development. I urge you to avail of the many opportunities offered.
I am also pleased to advise that the YFL in conjunction with the CLC has commenced a national campaign for pensions in Canada. At a time when we are faced with pension plans in Canada being under attack, when employers are allowed to under fund such plans Canadian workers are left holding the bag! Many pensioners today are faced with losing or having their pensions reduced, many Canadians do not have a pension plan nor are they able to save for their future because of corporate greed, it is time to stand up and have a say, remember that workers in this country deserve to retire in dignity.
In solidarity,
Alex Furlong
President, YFL
