FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 12, 1998Union leaders visit Grande Prairie as part of province-wide tour
AFL President Audrey Cormack and Secretary Treasurer Les Steel will preside over an open public forum on Wednesday, January 14th. The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. at Muskoseepi Park located at 102 Street and 102 Avenue. "Our main audience will be trade unionists, especially people from unions affiliated with the AFL," says Cormack. "But we are also extending invitations to all concerned citizens. In particular, we will be opening the door to seniors, students, community activists, the unemployed and many others. Everyone is welcome." Cormack says the meeting is aimed at encouraging open public debate on a wide range of social, economic and political issues. "We'll be talking about workplaces issues like wages and job security," says Cormack. "But we'll also be talking about all those things that can enhance the quality of life here in Alberta - like a healthy environment and well-funded public services." "Our goal is to get people thinking about where they want the province to be in 10 or 20 years. And we want to talk about how individuals, unions and community groups can work together to build towards that vision."
