PSAC BC 2007 Union School
November 2,3,4
Public & Proud
The theme of this year's union school is "Public and Proud! Building Union Resistance to Privatization." Our goal is to organize and mobilize members of our union and our communities and build an agenda of resistance to the privatization of public services.
Working hand in hand with other members of our locals, our unions and communities around the world, we will implement a People First Agenda that puts People before Profits. Our people first agenda identifies that quality public services are essential in building strong communities and inclusive societies.
This theme represents the critical struggle being waged in our union, in our communities and globally to defend quality public services and resist the enormously destructive impact of privatization on workers and people around the world.
Plenary sessions and guest speakers will demonstrate the links between defending quality public services and the rights of our members and other workers and people around the world.
This thread will be woven throughout all four of our courses.
