(Sudbury – May 15, 2018)

At an award luncheon in Toronto on May 12th, OCUFA President Gyllian Phillips presented LUFA/APPUL’s Jean-Charles Cachon with the prestigious OCUFA Service Award.

The Award was established to honour individuals who have done, or continue to do, exceptional work on behalf of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations and its members.

Jean-Charles was honoured for his 40 years as an academic labour leader who has done outstanding work for OCUFA and its member associations, beginning in the 1970s, as founding President of Hearst University’s faculty association, right up to last fall’s successful LUFA/APPUL strike.
