Election Results
We welcome Khalid Usman, who has been acclaimed for the Secretary position.
Local 541 extends best wishes to our outgoing Secretary, Jo Marie Ortega, and our outgoing Head Steward, Nicole McClymont, for their tireless effort and union activism during their term. Their presence will be sorely missed.

Thank you
Thank you to everyone who has attended this AGM. It would not be a success without your attendance. Your voices were heard as we debated the 2026 Budget, and a motion was raised to support the relief efforts in the Philippines. These things are not possible without your engagement, as the membership dictates and decides what Local funds will be used for. If you have ideas on how to run our next AGM (hint, it’s happening in February) or where it should be hosted, email the local at local541.pdoc@gmail.com
