It's just a mess!

Trying to understand the financial crisis, what caused it, why and who is involved just boggles the mind.

Here is a presentation prepared by Mark Langevin, PSI co-ordinator for North America . Mark is also responsible for building working relationships with the international financial institutions - especially the IMF and World Bank.

Mark delivered this presentation at the recently held regional executive meetings held in Port-au-Prince. The presentation provided the necessary background for discussions on PSI's strategic directions in the new congress period,  2013 - 2017.

In memory of those who have passed

Port-au-Prince, March 29, 2012

After a night of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, Friday March 30 opened to bright sunshine as if the weather knew the significance of the day and the event that was to take place. Over 120 union members, well-wishers and guests gathered at #313 Rue Joseph Janvier to witness and celebrate the official opening of the new CTSP offices. 

CTSP young workers - making things happen

Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2012

Quite fittingly a group of eight young CTSP young members  was the first the meet in the recently opened new offices. Tifonie Powell, IA young workers’ representative on the PSI Executive Board met with a group of young workers from member unions of the CTSP. Over the past year, Tifonie and Marie Danielle Pierre-Charles, CTSP’s young workers’ coordinator, have been exchanging ideas on ways to integrate more young workers as well as find ways to reach out to young people across Haiti.
