VOTE VOTE VOTE
I am sending this message out to remind everyone that in just a few hours your electronic ballot will be sent to your personal email address for the positions of President, Unifor Local 2002, Financial Secretary Treasurer, Unifor Local 2002, and Regional Vice President Unifor Local 2002.
As with all Union positions, it is important that you take the time to vote. This is how your voice is heard, and democracy remains at the center of our Union. We are the largest Local in all of Unifor, something we should all be proud of, but with that comes the responsibility to choose strong leadership to guide us through the next three years.
I will be sharing who I am voting for and the reasons why. That said, your vote is your choice, and I respect whatever decision you make.
Tammy Moore for President Unifor Local 2002
I support and vote to re elect Tammy Moore because she brings proven leadership, deep experience, and a strong track record of delivering results for members. She has been our President since August 2021, and throughout that time has demonstrated her ability to lead, navigate complex bargaining environments, and advocate effectively for aviation workers. Tammy has represented members across the board, from the smallest units to the largest, ensuring every voice is heard and every group is supported. Her experience at both the local and national level, combined with her strong background in grievance handling and collective bargaining, shows she understands the challenges members face and knows how to address them with strength and professionalism.
Equally important, Tammy is committed to building a fair, inclusive, and unified union. She has led important initiatives and consistently worked to advance the rights of members across the country. Her focus on education, advocacy, and representation reflects a leader who not only fights for workers’ rights but also empowers others. Tammy’s experience, integrity, and dedication are why I support her to continue leading our union forward.
Charlotte Pape for Financial Secretary Treasurer (FST)
I support and am voting to re-elect Charlotte Pape because she has demonstrated steady, experienced leadership and a clear commitment to putting members first. With over 37 years at Air Canada and more than 9 years in Unifor leadership, including her current role as Secretary Treasurer since 2023, Charlotte understands the Local from the ground up. From the smallest units to the largest, she has consistently shown that she listens to members, supports District leadership, and works to deliver real, meaningful change. Her background in both union leadership and financial oversight brings a level of experience and stability that our Local needs.
Charlotte has also taken concrete steps to strengthen accountability, transparency, and financial reporting within the Local. She has pushed for improved processes, better communication, and regular quarterly financial reporting to members, ensuring greater oversight and trust. Her focus on modernizing internal systems, strengthening financial controls, and increasing transparency shows a forward-looking approach that benefits all members. She has already made progress, and I believe she is the right person to continue building a stronger, more accountable Local 2002 moving forward.
Dien Nguyen for Regional Vice President for the Central Region (the region I am from)
I support and am voting to elect Dien Nguyen as Vice President of the Central Region because he consistently goes above and beyond for members, not just within his own district but across the entire region. He continues to volunteer his time to strengthen this Union, demonstrating a level of commitment and dedication that is essential in leadership. His willingness to step in, support others, and contribute wherever needed shows that he is focused on building a stronger, more unified membership. He is exactly what the Central Region needs right now.
Dien has also played a pivotal role in supporting large and complex arbitrations, particularly through his work in evidence gathering, compiling, and explaining detailed cases. His efforts during the D301 LOU 39 reassignment arbitration in 2024 were instrumental in achieving a successful settlement, reflecting both his work ethic and his ability to deliver results. His experience, dedication, and proven track record make him the right choice to help lead the Central Region forward.
For the record: I respect your vote and above are the candidates of my choice.
I want to be clear that these are my personal choices and each of you including retirees are encouraged to vote and make your own choice.
