PSAC mourns the death of one of our own

I am heartbroken by the tragic death of Leïla Ben Salem, a member of the Union of Taxation Employees Local 10008. On behalf of PSAC, I extend my deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who loved her. 

Violence has no place in our communities. As a union, we stand together in grief, but also in our commitment to building a world where everyone can live and work in safety and dignity. 

We stand in solidarity with Leïla’s family, her Local and all members affected by this devastating loss.  

In solidarity, 

Sharon DeSousa
