We’re excited to welcome a new face to the GSU team this spring: Jordan, our co-op student who officially started with us this week. He’ll be with us in our Regina office for the next four months, helping with research to support GSU’s efforts to organize new members from the agriculture industry into the union.
Jordan brings a unique mix of experience and drive to the role. He’s currently finishing the final semester of his Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Regina, majoring in Human Resources. After graduation, he hopes to study labour law and become a lawyer.
Before he returned to school, Jordan spent years as a journeyperson machinist and later moved into project management, working across a variety of sectors including oil and gas, mining, and agriculture.
He grew up in Lumsden, SK and his farming experience includes a memorable summer job on a seed farm cleaning out grain bins with a shovel and a shop vac. “It was a hot and stinky job,” he says, “but I learnt a lot.”
We’re happy to have Jordan on board to support GSU as we continue our work to grow and welcome new members from the ag industry. If you see him around—virtually or in person—don’t hesitate to say hello.
