The Atlantic’s Resolutions Committee, which administers the Atlantic International Solidarity Fund (AISF) between constitutionally mandated meetings, has approved a resolution to fund four (4) delegates to join the 2024 National CUPW Delegation to Cuba this April.

Selected applicants will be responsible for any additional costs, as well as for securing their leave from their employer and all lost wages.

All travel and accommodation arrangements will be made by the Union.
