Melanie Boyko, a group 4 operator from the Pacific Region and
our Pacific Region Human Rights Representative, attended the Teamsters
Canada Women's Conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario, last weekend.
Those of you that know Melanie, know that she is a strong speaker
and a caring, fearless and compassionate person. Though she has
only recently begun her tenure as the HR rep, I'm hearing nothing
but good from the membership concerning her work. She was asked
to give a short speech at the Women's conference, which went over
really well.
She spoke on safety, the needs of all members, the concerns involved
with being a woman in a traditionally male workplace and the solidarity
of uniting rail labour as the newest members of the Teamsters
organization.
