For the first time in its 53-year history, the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour (NSFL) has elected a woman, and the first woman of colour, to hold this role of president. Melissa Marsman was elected on October 28th at the Federation’s convention in Halifax. This election is a testament to the ongoing work of unions in breaking down barriers and building a stronger, more inclusive movement for everyone.
Marsman says, this election represents progress and inclusion at a time when working people across the province are demanding stronger voices, fairer workplaces, better pay and job security, with a renewed focus on equality and justice for all workers.
Tammy Gillis has been elected Treasurer, marking the first time two women have held the top leadership positions within the NSFL. This is a proud moment for workers; change is happening, and it’s powered by solidarity, equality, and the strength of working people across our province.
The NSNU thanks outgoing president, Danny Cavanagh, for his service as president of the NSFL for ten years and his 35-plus years as a labour leader and staunch activist.
