The Committee’s mandate is to provide the means for our membership to stay informed on the news and happenings in Local 343.
Our methods of communication include a newsletter that is mailed to all members at least three times a year, periodic electronic communications sent to our stewards for circulation within the bargaining units and to members who have given COPE Local 343 their personal email addresses and of course, our website.
We are always looking for interesting submissions for the newsletter, so feel free to e-mail us if you have an idea and/or article that you wish to see included!
Do you know of an individual who has done something outstanding in our Union community? Tell us about them and we’ll be sure to let others know.
Ensure we have your current personal contact information so that you receive the latest updates and communications. If you move or change your information, simply send your new e-mail address and particulars to office@cope343.com and type ‘Communication Committee’ in the subject line. .
COPE Local 343 consists of 1700+ members and 97 collective agreements across Canada. Local 343 is an autonomous Local and the largest COPE Local in Ontario.
Ethiraju has been a member of COPE Local 343 for the last 25+ years with an
extensive accounting and financial background. A friend and colleague once
told him that if you want to see change, you need to get involved, and so he did. Ethiraju has been a steward, a bargaining committee member, and sits on multiple committees at Local 343. Advocating for those who are not able to and helping others and social justice has always been a strong value of his, and he will continue to do that at the board level! Ethiraju believe in a more just world. In his spare time, he love to spend time with his family, his dog Maya, enjoys gardening, talking about politics, and making the best biriyani in town!
