Hi, I’m Krysty Thomas

I’m running for Regional Executive Vice-President because I believe in a union that reflects the Prairies — strong and connected.

For more than 15 years, I’ve worked to strengthen our movement from the grassroots up: organizing members, leading councils, and standing up for workers in every corner of our region. I currently serve on the Prairie Region Council and as Alternate REVP, chair the Prairie Region Council Finance Committee, and represent workers on the Treasury Board bargaining team. My experience also includes leadership in the broader labour movement through the Lethbridge & District Labour Council and the Alberta Federation of Labour.

My campaign is built on vision, collaboration and action - reflected through four pillars:

  1. Strengthen Prairie regionalism

  2. Foster connected and collaborative leadership

  3. Keep the Union relevant and strong

  4. Turn advocacy into real change

I’ve never been afraid to do the work and I believe in action that matters. That means connecting people, building leaders, and turning our shared values into results.

Together, we can strengthen PSAC Prairies - build power, deepen connection, and keep workers at the centre of every decision.

Krysty’s vision for a stronger PSAC Prairies

  • The Prairies have unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives and our union should reflect them. I’ll champion a strong regional identity where decisions, campaigns, and strategies are shaped by Prairie members, for Prairie members.

    By strengthening regionalism, we ensure Prairie members have a real say in how our union grows making sure our priorities shape national conversations.

  • Our union’s strength lives in its members, not just in conferences and conventions, but in workplaces and communities. I will strengthen connections between Locals, Components, committees, and activists across the region to support a more collaborative approach to leadership.

    Expanding the Prairie Activist Map will help us better understand and connect our network of activists. By mapping our strengths, we can mobilize faster, share resources, and support members who are ready to take action.

    This work will strengthen connections, amplify local actions, and ensure every member — no matter where they live or work — feels seen, supported, and part of something bigger.

  • Our union must stay focused on what matters most: decent work, fair wages, and protecting the services Canadians rely on. Real union strength means standing up for workers; defending collective bargaining, fair contracts, and safe, secure workplaces.

    Unions should inspire people to get involved and to stay involved. I see PSAC Prairies as a place where activism feels meaningful, inclusive, and energizing, where members see their struggles reflected and their voices valued.

    When we connect our fights for fairness at work with fairness in our communities, we build a movement that lasts.

  • We have lobbied for years; now it is time to push for lasting change. I will lead a strategic effort to move from advocacy to real impact by building stronger relationships with MLAs, MPs, and municipal leaders across the Prairies. Together, we can shape legislation that improves the lives of working people, rather than simply demanding change from the sidelines.

    We also need to strengthen our political engagement so that governments prioritize the interests of working people, repealing harmful legislation that undermines workers’ rights and weakens the labour movement. This work will not come easily, it will take education, persistence, and the collective will of our members to see it through.
