Democratic Structures
The executive committee of the CSN
Between congresses, the Executive Committee assumes the direction of the Confederation and sees to applying the mandates voted upon by the union’s governing bodies: the Congress, the Confederal Council, and the Confederal Board. The Executive Committee is composed of six positions: the president, the general secretary, the treasurer, and three vice-presidents.
Members of the CSN’s Executive Committee have different responsibilities as defined in the articles and by-laws, and share the mandates decided by the governing bodies. They are responsible for the CSN’s smooth operations, particularly its finances, various governing bodies, staff, and union services.
David Bergeron-Cyr
Second Vice-President
A forklift operator at the Jean-Coutu Group distribution centre in Varennes, David Bergeron-Cyr was a founding member of his local union, the Syndicat des travailleuses et travailleurs de PJC entrepôt–CSN.
In turn, he subsequently became Vice-President (Grievances) and later Vice-President of his union. He then became involved with the FC-CSN, serving as Vice-President from 2009 to 2018 and, until recently, as President.
During all this time, David was in charge of organizing and occupational health and safety issues, as well as the Federation’s agri-food and finance sectors, in addition to sitting on numerous Confederal governing bodies.
At the 66th CSN Convention in January 2021, David Bergeron-Cyr was elected to the position of Second Vice-President of the CSN Executive Committee.
