This October, Joint Council No. 36 held its first Education Week for Shop Stewards at the Inn at the Quay, in New Westminster, and it was quite the success! The Joint Council Education Week is an inaugural event where some of the top experts in Labour provide education in grievance handling, collective bargaining, legal and legislative updates, and more.  Congratulations to all attendees!
