Mrs. ,
Claims Payment Operations,
London District Office.
Dear .
.
Some of the views expressed at our meeting in Toronto, dealt with
a perceived breach of confidentiality and and the percep~ion that
I had a problem with certain aspects of your union involvement and
activities.
I sincerely apologize if I had said or done anything tha~ led to
this conclusion, as it was never my intent to censor your union
involvement or breach confidence~
Yours truly,
!
:.trs . Joan Cavallin
