Outstanding Women Leaders Recognition Project
by Sharon Reilly 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Dear Conference Committee members, Please see the email below, which is being circulated by the MFL to its members and friends. The organizers are looking for nominations of women - union leaders, activists, and others - who have made an important contribution in promoting the rights of working people over the last 100 years. Thank you, Sharon In honour of the upcoming centennial anniversary of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, the MFL is pleased to be partnering with the Prairie School for Union Women and the Saskatchewan and Alberta Federations of Labour on a *Very Special Project to Showcase 100 Outstanding Women Leaders from across the Prairies who have Led the Fight for Workers Rights Over the Last 100 Years*. Pictures and bios will be displayed at the Prairie School this June 2019 so participants can learn about the Sisters and activists “on whose shoulders we stand”. Please submit nominations of Manitoban women (including anyone identifying as a woman) who have advanced workers’ rights and women’s rights in our province. We would like nominees to be diverse and reflective of our many backgrounds. Women who have been or are leaders in their unions and the community, champions of change and defenders of rights. Women who have empowered and mentored others to strengthen our movement and women’s equality. We encourage you to canvass your leadership, staff, executive members, women’s committees and local leadership for nominations. *In order to nominate an outstanding woman, all you have to do it provide a photo and short (1 paragraph) bio. * *DEADLINE:* Please provide your nominations by *February 28, 2019* to ARothney(a)mfl.mb.ca. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Anna Rothney at 204-947-1400. In solidarity, Kevin Rebeck President, Manitoba Federation of Labour -- ..........................................................................................

next meeting date- conflict
by Julie Guard 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

Hello, All: I have just learned that the date of our next meeting, 24 November, is also U.S. Thanksgiving. Our U.S. based colleague will of course not be able to attend. Perhaps, given that this is a legitimate conflict and we wouldn't schedule a meeting on a Canadian holiday, we could reschedule the meeting, perhaps to 1 December? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca> Please note that as of 1 July 2018 I am no longer Labour Studies Coordinator

Regrets from me re: today's meeting. I'm terribly sorry. I've got a bad bug, which has worsened this AM. Just so you know (and I've apprised Jeff Taylor and Jim Naylor of said), I've engaged a website designer and code-person to re-tool our current site. Just need a couple of tech bits ,which are hopefully forthcoming by early next week. I have reached out to a comms. specialist within the UM Faculty of Arts. :) I hope to hear from her on Monday. In other words, I need another week. That's it from here. Hope you're all well! KL P.S.

Question from Harriet Zaidman
by Julie Guard 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi all: I got a question from Harriet Zaidman asking if someone can tell her which unions are holding their conventions in the city next year. She has written a middle grade children's novel about the strike that will be released in March and would like to promote it at union conventions, if they agree. Does anyone have that information? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca> Please note that as of 1 July 2018 I am no longer Labour Studies Coordinator

07 Nov '18

Hi Everyone, A reminder that the Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference Committee is meeting this Saturday, October 27, at 1:30 at 2B23, University of Winnipeg. I think the main order of business is to develop a timeline to the Conference, think of the tasks that have to be undertaken, and ensure that they are covered by our current committees. Please let me know of any specific items that should be placed on the agenda. Thanks, Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80]
