USJE wishes to inform members of some important decisions that were made at the recent USJE National Triennial Convention held in Whistler from July 18th – 21st 2023. This includes an upcoming dues increase and the establishment of the USJE National Strike Fund.

RVP Andréanne Samson discussed with NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice the decision by management to withdraw the union hall from USJE members at the RCMP’s C Division in Westmount. Mr. Boulerice, MP for Rosemont – La Petite Patrie and his political party’s Quebec lieutenant, contacted USJE himself to inquire about progress on the file.

National President David Neufeld reached out to incoming Minister of Public Safety, the Hon. Dominic LeBlanc, sending congratulations and an invitation to meet.

National President, David Neufeld, Regional Vice-President Bella Skalin and Director of Labour Relations, Rebecca Thompson, visited the RCMP detachment in North Bay, Ontario, to meet with the local membership.

Debate concerning the establishment of a USJE National Strike Fund was vigorous. USJE’s next National Triennial Convention will take place in Québec City in 2026.

National President David Neufeld was acclaimed for the 2023-2026 term, and received a heartfelt standing ovation for his service over the past 20 months. Regional caucuses also elected their RVPs for three year terms (2023-2026).

Day 2 – Finance report, budget, bylaws, and MP Peter Julian

The USJE National Triennial Convention officially began earlier this morning. 173 delegates from coast to coast to coast have arrived in Whistler, British-Columbia, on the ancestral land of the Squamish and Lil’wat nations.  

We request the immediate return of the union office to the members of the Local.

RVP Andréanne Samson visited the office of Anna Gainey, the new Member of Parliament for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce – Westmount, early this morning to inform her of the decision affecting members of Local 10004 who have had their union office taken away.
