This morning, MGEU delegates at Convention 2012 elected a new President to the union: Michelle Gawronsky.
“Now is the time to listen to you, the members and stand together so we can be the most powerful and effective union possible,” said Gawronsky in her election speech.
Michelle resides in Vita, Manitoba and comes from one of the largest MGEU components: Health Care Support Services. She brings over 27 years of union experience to the office of MGEU President.
She began her working career as a Health Care Aide (HCA) in the nursing home in Vita in 1976 and began her union activism in the 1980?s due to a workplace issue. Little did she know, it would very quickly become her life-long passion.
