This spring flew by, just as quickly as I’m sure this summer will. Within this time, the PWU head office has kept very busy, with press conferences, events, ceremonies and more, there hasn’t been a shortage of work to do.
A significant event happened in March of this year, the retirement celebration for PWU Legal Counsel, Chris Dassios. Over Chris’ 29 year tenure with the PWU he has fought relentlessly for the rights of PWU Members, representing them thousands of times, to the highest degree. We go into detail about Chris’ career with us later in this Newsletter. For me personally, Chris was able to offer sage advice, provide sound guidance through moments of tribulation, always with a smile and clever joke. The affordability the PWU had to depend on such a person for so long, is something we should all feel grateful for. Thank you Chris, from all of us at the PWU. The PWU’s legal department is now in the very capable hands of Jessica Latimer, and although there are big shoes to fill, we have no doubt that Jessica will forge her own, positive and meaningful way through.
