Bouvier delivers much-appreciated speech at the Teamsters Canada 10th convention
The president of Teamsters Canada, Robert Bouvier, delivered an
excellent speech about his organization at the Teamsters Canada
Convention, which took place June 8-11, 2009.
“Our finances are in order, and we continue to increase our
membership,” he said in substance.
The slogan of the Teamsters Canada Convention was “Values – Vision –
Actions” and President Bouvier spoke at length about these three key
words.
“These are three simple words that have a lot of power,” he
explained to the delegates. “We know who we are, where we are going,
and how to get there.”
The union leader also underlined the importance of the contributions
made by all the union officers and the delegates and officers from
local unions.
“You are influential in your respective communities! Do not let
anyone tell you that you are not important,” he emphasized. “You
lead people toward a common goal for the good of your members and
Canadians in general.”
The full speech delivered by the president of Teamsters Canada is
