Message to District 140 membersfrom David Chartrand, GVP, IAM Canada

Dear IAM District 140 Members,

As you are aware, Transportation District 140 has been placed under supervision by the IAM. We communicated this to the membership last week, and the response has been very positive.

I encourage you to watch the brief message addressed to District 140 members, where I further explain the reasons behind these necessary changes. The membership has made it clear—they want us to stand united as a strong, cohesive team, and we are fully committed to making that a reality. 

In solidarity,
David Chartrand,
General Vice-President, IAM Canada
