Secretary / Women's Rep

Teena Cichon

Hello beautiful you! My name is Teena Cichon and I am both your secretary and your women’s rep.

Turn ons: reading, cats, vacationing, nacho cheese Doritos, and equal rights for all. Turn offs: poor deals, lack of communication, and violations of our members’ rights.

I am a little person with a big mouth and lots of energy. Come see me on the second floor anytime where I work in my substantive as a BEA.

I will continue to fight for you through my advocacy work with the union local and as the co-regional rep for Ontario’s ESDC women’s committee.
