F-7 Inviting Youngest Steward to Institute AGM

AMENDED

 

Sponsor: Québec Regional Council (f) | Disposition:  Defeated

Whereas the Institute’s AGM is our highest democratic forum;

Whereas we must do everything in our power to encourage young people to become involved;

Whereas the union must ensure that it properly represents the interests of the new generation in order for young people to develop a feeling of belonging to their union;

Whereas, to ensure the sustainability of the Institute, we must train tomorrow’s leaders by passing on to them the organization’s knowledge and values;

Be it resolved that the youngest Steward in each Region, if they have not already availed themselves of this provision, be invited to the Institute’s by the Institute to the PIPSC AGM as an observer and that the required money be set aside for that purpose;

Be it further resolved that these observers be added to the regular participants and that they not replace those already specified in the policies.

Resolutions Sub-Committee Comments: Observer costs are borne by the sponsoring constituent bodies. The average cost per delegate attending the PIPSC AGM is $1,850.
