Unifor 2025 Stewards

 I recently became a steward because I want to help make our workplace healthy and positive. I want to push for my fellow colleagues’ rights and ensure they’re respected.

The grievance case I have been working on as a steward has been very fulfilling and has allowed me to get to know a colleague from a different department whom I never would have gotten to know otherwise! I really appreciate being able to build a greater sense of community with my colleagues.

My name is Yafa Jarrar and I am excited to serve as a Unifor 2025 steward.

As a Grievance and Adjudication Officer at the Representation and Legal Services section, my work includes representing and advising PSAC members as to their rights & responsibilities in their collective agreements.  I am excited to utilize my experience in the labour movement, my knowledge of Canadian labour law and arbitration, and my work in the Representation section to support my co-workers in our bargaining unit. I believe that everyone deserves to work in a healthy and safe environment, free of harassment and discrimination.
