"The challenges that we face as GSU members are like no other. The government today want us to step back, let them introduce Bill 5 and 6 and let the rest of the province say what a good government we have," Carolyn said. "I think now is the time to stand up for our rights and beliefs. We are the province of Saskatchewan and we are a working people and we need to understand the consequences of this government. We must do everything we can to stop big business like Viterra from crushing the union worker. We need to stand together more than ever and educate our collegues about the importance of our unions and what they mean to us and to our children and our future."

"If we don't fight, we will end up the way we were 70 years ago. I want to make sure all GSU members know the importance of keeping our union strong," Carolyn said. "As GSU's elected President I will listen to what my members have to say, but I also have the chance to speak out and make sure they understand the importance of the GSU."
