The election results are in, and it is with great pride that we also congratulate the incumbent Executive Council members and international officers, who have been nominated and elected to a new four-year term, beginning July 1, 2025. For the first time in nearly two decades, there will be no need for runoffs in the international officer elections, a clear reflection of the strong unity and trust our members have shown in their leadership.
We are also excited to announce the re-election of David Chartrand for his second term as General Vice-President of IAM Canada, along with the election of Christy Slauenwhite as Canadian Labour Congress Delegate and Eric Johnston as a member of the Law Committee.
On behalf of all three of us, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for placing your trust and confidence in us. Without your support, none of this would have been possible. Every step of the way, it has been your commitment, dedication, and belief in our mission that has driven us forward, and for that, we are incredibly thankful.
Looking to the future, we are more determined than ever to work together towards our shared vision of bringing justice. Justice that is fair and accessible, now and always. With your continued partnership and support, we know that we can achieve this goal and create a brighter, more just tomorrow for all workers.
We understand the responsibility you have entrusted us with, and we want to assure you that your faith in us will never be misplaced. We will work tirelessly, with integrity and passion, to ensure that we meet and exceed the expectations you have placed on us. We are committed to the cause, to each of you, and to the values we hold dear. Together, we will continue to fight for what is right, and we will make sure your vote was not only heard, but acted upon.
You will not be disappointed. The road ahead may have its challenges, but we know that together, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.
Thank you once again for your trust, and we look forward to achieving great things together. The best is yet to come!
In solidarity always,
David Chartrand – GVP IAM Union Canada
Christy Slauenwhite – Canadian Labour Congress Delegate
Eric Johnston – Member of the law Committee
