Greetings

As President of this Local, and on behalf of its Executive and Members we welcome you to explore our Local, educate yourself on Unionism and encourage exchange of ideas.

Our Union is dedicated to improving the lives of working people at CFCN and CFRN television stations. We are part of the Communications, Energy & Paperworkers Union of Canada, which represents over 162,000 Canadian workers. We pride ourselves on being active members of the CTV Council & CEP Coordinated CTV Council.

As President of Local 899, I encourage all members of this Union, to help shape its future, defend its past, and participate in its present. This can be simply done, by attending membership meetings or being active in the stewardship or other committees within the Union. The choice is yours, but always remember and cherish the fact that you, unlike many workers on this planet, have the choice offered.

This website is only one key element and tool at our fingertips to accomplish our common goals, get information to you quickly and allow an avenue for you to contact us.

Like a link in a chain, only together can we form the strength to stand for our rights, support each other in times of need, and explore the future offered to us.
