It's public knowledge that I've been an active New Democrat most of my adult life. But it's not my job to tell you how to vote. But I am urging you to review the values and statements of the political parties on those issues that affect you, and your fellow union members.

Democracy is much more than casting a ballot every few years.
In Canada we have many more opportunities to make our voices heard and shape public decision - making. But voting is a fundamental tool.

Government and Service Employees' Union I'd like to hear from you.
