Hello Members of Unifor Local 506:

This is Alain Boudreau, chair of the October 2018 Election Committee. This is an update regarding the election for Unifor Local 506 Secretary Treasurer.

At the September sub-local union meetings there were two nominations for the role of Secretary Treasurer; however, one of the nominees declined. The other nominee, Carlos Vicente, accepted the nomination at the Sept 18th Region 1 Saint John union meeting.

The Election Committee has reviewed the nominee’s résumé and is pleased to announce that by acclamation Carlos Vicente will assume the role of Secretary Treasurer. Carlos will be sworn in at the December Executive Board meeting.

Thank you and have a great day!
