I was very sorry to hear of Erlinda’s passing.
I was a co-worker and Erlinda was always supportive and openly shared her knowledge of the Canadian Tax Act with co-workers. She sat at the work station next to me for approximately three years until she retired.
She was a union steward for the union and was a strong advocate for employees that were mistreated by management and fought for employee rights. She represented me on one occasion and was very dedicated to her union steward activities. Erlinda was a strong advocate for workplace equity and fairness.
I offer my sincere condolences, and have missed her since she retired.
I worked with Erlinda for a number of years. She was always a passionate advocate of her coworkers and was a giving person in many aspects. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences at this very difficult time.
