Secretary-Treasurer of Unifor Local 2000 Elected to IFJ Executive

Unifor Media Council Secretary-Treasurer Jennifer Moreau has been elected to both the Executive Committee of the International Federation of Journalists and to its Gender Council Steering Committee.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to be voted on to the Executive Committee and the Gender Council of the IFJ, an important organization fighting for press freedom and the safety of journalists worldwide,” Moreau said.
Moreau was elected at the IFJ’s international Congress in Tunis last week, and will represent all of North America on the organization’s Executive Committee and on its Gender Council for a three-year term.
“Jennifer Moreau is a great Canadian voice for journalism and the special struggle of women journalists fighting discrimination and harassment. We’re so proud of her new international role,” Unifor Media Director Howard Law said.
Moreau is Secretary-Treasurer of Unifor Local 2000, and is also Secretary-Treasurer of Unifor Media Council.
