TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 140 – Colloque des États généraux du syndicalisme à Drummondville

Taking place from March 30 to April 1, this event aims to continue the process launched one year ago. It brings together more than 500 union activists who will reflect on and define solutions to help the labour movement meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

The IAM union was proudly represented by Michel Richer, Vincent Constantineau (LL 1751), and Alexandre Dumais (LL 712).

This step follows consultations and surveys conducted with members and the wider community. The solutions proposed by symposium participants will be presented to and evaluated by members through a survey to be released in May 2026.
