Al Clarke is running for president of CAW Local 222 and proposes a five point plan to address issues at Durham Region Transit. His plan includes resolving the $8.9 million unfunded pension liability dispute between Oshawa and Durham Region, having union representation on the transit advisory committee, making governments and corporations honor pension obligations, increasing transparency of union finances, remaining politically neutral, and respecting election funding laws. He asks members to vote for change in the January 20th election.
