Plawiuk pontificating at 1997 May Day rally in Edmonton

For the past ten years I have been the Head Custodian at Old Scona Academic High School, with the Edmonton Public School Board in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Old Scona was originally built in 1907 and just underwent a major restoration. To see how the restoration was done click here .

CANADIAN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES CUPE LOCAL 474

I am an executive member of CUPE Local 474. The local represents the 600 custodial workers in Edmonton's Public Schools.

We have been actively fighting back against attempts to contract out our jobs for the past three years, as well as fighting back against the current trend of right wing education reforms.

We have also been active in trying to make violence in the workplace a health and safety issue.

I have done a wide variety of research, press releases, and briefs for our union. Some of these are included here.

Currently the Local does not have its own website so I have created a page here.

ALBERTA FEDERATION OF LABOUR EDUCATION COMMITTEE
I am a member of the AFL Education Committee. The committee deals with organizing trade union education across the province.

Over the past three years the right wing government of Ralph Klein and his provincial Progressive (sic) Conservatives have attempted to privatize all aspects of education in Alberta in accordance with the so called educational 'reforms' being implemented in the United States, Britain and New Zealand.

Included here are briefs I have written for the AFL in response to these reforms. They have been adopted by the Federation as policy papers.
