This is my final report to you in this term as the president of the Toronto location. Tony Germin, the current vice president, has been acclaimed president. He and the rest of the new executive takes office at the end of the month, on Monday, January 30, 2012.
A Happy New Year to all of you. And the forecasts are for an interesting 2012. There’s already been a lot of speculation and conjecture about the federal budget and its effect on the CBC. But until the budget is actually tabled in the House of Commons all the talk is only speculative.
Your union has been busy and much of this business has been fun from those stress dolls to the Holiday Party. Here are a few things that may interest you. But first have a great holiday season.
