	The Union of Canadian Transportation Employees (UCTE) is one of 17 components of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. We represent over 7 500 members working for more than 50 employers in the public and private industry. Some of our employers include the Canadian transportation sector, ports and airports, the air navigation system (NAV Canada), in pilotage association on the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, in other transportation groups. Others work in the maintenance of our canals (Parks Canada Agency), at the ministry of Transport and in lighthouses, and on the vessels and bases of the Canadian Coast Guard. UCTE is regulated by its By-Laws which are reviewed during each of its Triennial Conventions. In between Conventions, the Union is governed by the National Executive which is elected at Convention by the Convention delegates. The National Executive includes the National President, the National Vice-President and six Regional Vice-Presidents, all elected for a full-time, three year term.
