In the days since Steve’s death, we have been struggling with what to say about this terrible and shocking loss of a cherished member of our Local and our community.
It’s painful to think that less than a month before we lost Steve, we gathered at the legislature with CUPE members from across the province to mark the Day of Mourning for those killed and injured because of their job. Everyone who leaves for work in the morning should be able to expect to return safely to their loved ones at the end of the day.
We grieve the loss of Steve as part of our CUPE 374 family, and we mourn for the immense and ongoing loss that his young family must now endure.
Thank you to all our union sisters, brothers and friends who have stepped forward to support Steve’s family in various ways in the past two weeks. Local 374 continues to accept contributions to support the Seekins Family; if you would like to give, you can send an etransfer to treasurer@cupe374.ca.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, May 30 at 4pm at Dave Dunnet Theatre, Oak Bay High School.
We know that many people want to help the Seekins family during this difficult time and have been inquiring about how that can be done. In honor of Steve’s memory, CUPE Local 374 has set up an account that donations can be made to at the Community Savings Credit Union.
All funds contributed will go directly to the Seekins family and will help make a meaningful difference in honouring Steve’s life.
If you’d like to donate you can either:
The Local thanks everyone in all the units that has reached out to offer their support and condolences. We will share details on the funds as the account grows. Our goal is to be able to assist his family over the next year plus without having to worry about money on top of this tragic loss.
Sincerely,
Shireen
