Hello,
Did you know that your union has several Regional Committees, including regional Young Workers Committees? PSAC Regional Committees:
• Host general meetings,
• Organize events,
• Represent members of equity-seeking groups,
• Provide information tailored to these groups, and
• Help keep members informed about their union and workplace.
My name is Maxwell Gawlick, and I’m reaching out on behalf of the BC Region's two Young Workers Committees: the Vancouver Island Young Workers Committee and the Mainland and Haida Gwaii Young Workers Committee. Together, we have many events, information sessions, and resources planned for PSAC Young Workers. There's just one problem: we need to reach you! The Committees generally reach out via their email lists, which are collected through self-identification via the PSAC BC regional website. However, at this moment, only about 2% of PSAC Young Workers in our province have self-identified. That means 98% of you aren’t aware of our events and resources.
I urge each of you to go to PSAC BC regional website and self-identify for each of the equity-seeking groups that apply to you, including Young Workers (for PSAC, that means workers who are 35 years old or younger). We do not send excessive emails, and will never send spam—we just want to keep you aware of important updates and let you know about upcoming events and meetings. You can opt out any time, but without self-identification, you won’t have access to what your committees have to offer. Self-identify today and get involved with your union to take advantage of all that PSAC BC has to offer!
Young Workers Interest Survey
For all those who identify as PSAC BC Young Workers, I would also like to share this survey to gather information about your interests, needs, and ideas for PSAC Young Workers Committees. Remember, this is your union. We may be organizing the events, but we need you to tell us what events you want organized! Tell us what education you want, and what you feel is missing. Feel under-represented? Let us know! We can’t adapt to your needs without input about what those needs are.
Fill out the Young Workers Interest Survey available on the PSAC BC website.
Feel free to reach out to your PSAC BC Young Workers Committee by email if you have questions or if want more information about our work.
