The Canadian Union of Labour Employees (CULE) have been representing the staff in regional offices since 1976. Bernie Dixon (Halifax RO) was the very first CULE President. Over that 36 year period many regional office staff have volunteered to sit on the CULE Executive and deal with the affairs of their union. The following lists identify the many CULE members who have stepped up and provided their services, in a variety of positions, to CULE members. We want to thank the members who have done this in the past and the members who are currently doing this. We would also like to thank the members who will do this in the future.
