Anand Vaid Memorial Bursary

Anand, like most who get involved with the union, began as a steward in the 90s at the Wascana Campus in Regina. He listened to his fellow co-workers and their plights and wanted to do more to assist them to understand and learn more about their rights and their collective agreement. Anand branched out to serve on several committees to assist others and also gain a better understanding of how best to represent his co-workers.
