YEU 10th TRIENNIAL CONVENTION ϮϬϮϯ Director Report Sherry Masters I had a short speech when I was voted in for this term as Director. I said I would be there I will be present. I have been. From YEU executive meetings to conventions, conferences, councils, committees, strike perpetration, to walking the picket line in solidarity. I let the KVA know I and our members were not going to take any concessions. As a member of the bargaining team, we ushered in the best deal in over 20 years! I was at the YEU executive meetings for strike preparation. I went to a meeting in Dawson and was ready to help any way I could like I did for PSAC. I helped hand out strike supportive swag. I walked a picket line in NU, I rose my voice at the treasury board in Ottawa. It was a very busy 2 years at YEU. More staff was hired in the office with YEU membership growing. I have enjoyed getting to know the staff in the office and their roles more in depth. More support for Shop Stewards was needed and YEU created a new position Shop Steward Advisor. As a member of the Education Committee, we have seen changes to Education as the membership has asked for. Short Zoom courses have been very popular, and more were developed and ran. Education went to Dawson for Education Day. We are getting a new building as we have outgrown our current building. I have to say watching YEU hold the government’s feet to the fire is the most exiting part of being on the executive. I have been very involved in the Union not only being on the YEU Executive. Here is a list of what I have been up to. YEU Executive, YEU Education Committee Local Y018 President Chair PSAC Yukon Access Committee, Member of PSAC North Council, PSAC North Education Committee, Treasurer of Regional Women’s Committee and representative sitting on the Yukon Women’s Coalition, VP now Acting Chair Yukon Area Counsel, Member of Yukon Health and Safety Committee, PSAC National Human Rights Committee representing the North for ‘Access for people with disabilities.
