This is an operational question but council can play an active role in setting the tone. I believe finally getting a liaison to the labour council was a first step in reminding council and staff unions represent workers and local workers are vital to our economic growth. We need to revisit our procurement policies regularly to determine if they are following the ethical guidelines and that local suppliers are engaged in the process. As a side note, if re-elected plan to promote a social sustainability component in purchasing so there is a focus on leaving some social impact whenever possible.
