Secretary: Rick Tanaka

I have been employed with the City of Surrey since 1990 and have held a position on the executive of CUPE 402 since 1998. In addition to my involvement with our union,

I am also a coach with Cloverdale Minor Baseball, play hockey and participate in karate.

I believe the goal and purpose of any union executive is to represent the best interests of the membership when conducting business on behalf of the local.

Currently I chair the Education Committee and the Health & Safety Committee in addition to participating in a number of other committees.

The only way for change to happen is to take the time and get involved. I hope to stay involved with our union for many more years to come.
