“I am very excited and am looking forward to working with our brothers and sisters from all the different unions,” said Mary-Joe, a Local 1000A steward at Kretschmar. “We have all been given the power to stand united and strong and we need to get that feeling back into all of our members within all our unions. For me this is a great opportunity for us to all work together to protect and improve our rights for this generation as well as for future generations.”

The election took place in early February.

“On behalf of Local 1000A, I am pleased to congratulate Mary-Joe on her achievement,” said Local 1000A President Pearl Sawyer, who supported the long-time activist for the position. “Mary-Joe is an exceptional steward and tireless labour activist who always puts workers first. I know she will be invaluable as a member of the Toronto & York Region Labour Council Executive Board.”
