Convention just ended for the day.
We had further debate on the budget. They convention floor passed taking money from the strike fund and putting it into the general fund.
We had question and answer period with the candidates for President and Vice President.
The election will be tomorrow and as soon as I know the results I will post them.
My day is not over when convention finished at 1700 hrs I was off to another meeting. I attend the Disability Rights Caucus meeting. We discussed the direction of the committee as well as inform members of some of the history as to why there is the need for the caucus. From there I was off to meet the person hosting the AA meeting and ensure they have everything they need. I then met with a member to talk about issues of discrimination in their workplace and we are going to get together after convention to see how he needs to be supported. We are now doing set up for the Equity Hospitality Suite. This is a alcohol free event, it is a place for members to feel safe and have some food and conversation. That is it for now stay tuned for further up dates.
