We will miss you, Jean-Claude
Jean-Claude Parrot, CLC Executive Vice-President since 1992, will retire after the CLC convention this June.
As the officer responsible for the CLC Workplace Literacy Project since it began in 1996, JC has been a stalwart champion of union-based literacy.
"My involvement with literacy has been one of the most important
parts of my work at the CLC."
During the last six years, he has helped put literacy on the unions agenda by speaking at literacy forums across the country, rolling up his sleeves at CUPW's training session for its national literacy reference group and actively participating in the CLC Literacy Working Group.

"My involvement with literacy has been one of the most important parts of my work at the CLC," said JC. "I've seen first-hand how literacy can really change our members' lives, and how the union can become more responsive and inclusive through literacy."
We want to thank JC for his contribution to literacy, and we wish him all the best in his retirement.
