2024 Labour Community Service Award Recipient
Justin works as a welder for the Department of Highways. He is a young leader who is actively involved in his union and the broader labour movement. He acts as Chair and Vice Chair for his local and has already been involved with the PSGE Negotiating Committee. Justin is a panel representative of SGEU’s Public Service sector and in his short union career has already had the opportunity to chair a Bargaining Council meeting as well as act as Interim Chair at the negotiating table with the employer. All of those connected with Justin appreciate that he is always prepared and researches the various topics of discussion.
He has and continues to coach his son’s hockey team. Justin has also shared his karate expertise by instructing karate. Not only does he provide skill training as a coach, but as importantly, he incorporates the psychology and discipline he learned when he was a karate student. He is the first to sign up to help as a chaperone or participant at his children’s school events and functions. Justin is well-liked and appreciated by the players and others involved on the various teams he has been involved with.
His nominator said, “There are not enough good things that can be said about this fella. He has and continues to be a servant for the people and his community. Justin has not only grown, but he has met the tasks before him with a humbleness and an eagerness to learn and develop. He is a good person and deserve this prestigious award.”
Congratulations Justin and thank you for your dedication to the labour movement and community!
