Jackson was president of the Manitoba Government Employees' Association (MGEA) from 1976 to 1979. He co-chaired a government task force on restructuring the provincial bureaucracy in this period, but resigned in dramatic fashion in February 1978 to protest layoffs in the civil service.〔Roger Newman, "On brink of war with civil servants", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 4 March 1978, P8.〕 Later in the year, he signed an agreement with Sterling Lyon's government to give workers protection against layoffs and the contracting out of services.〔"Strikes and settlements: Manitoba employees", ''Globe and Mail'', 27 June 1978, B16. See also "Liquor workers to end walkout in Manitoba", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 27 November 1978, P9.〕 In 1979, Jackson was appointed president of the National Union of Provincial Government Employees (NUPGE).〔"National union of civil workers acclaims head", ''Globe and Mail'', 4 April 1979, P2.〕 Jackson ran for the leadership of the Manitoba Liberal Party in 1980, but withdrew from the contest before the leadership convention.〔"Liberal candidate", ''Globe and Mail'', 25 October 1980, P2.〕 He had been considered a frontrunner and said that his departure was due to personal difficulties.〔"Leadership hopeful quits Manitoba race", ''Globe and Mail'', 29 October 1980, P8.〕 He was subsequently forced to stand down as president of the NUPGE, after its executive determined that he had violated the union's non-partisan status.〔Wilfred List, "Union leader tries politics, has to resign", ''Globe and Mail'', 13 November 1980, P75. Gary Doer, a member of the executive, indicated that Jackson and the board reached a mutual decision after a full and frank discussion.〕 Jackson later served as executive director of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in the Haiti from 1981 to 1985, when he became director of administration of the Canadian Organization of Development through Education. He was appointed to the Toronto branch of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada in 1988 and was re-appointed in 1998, serving as Coordinating Member of the Convention Refugee Determination Division.〔"IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE BOARD OF CANADA ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENTS FOR THE TORONTO REGION", ''Canada NewsWire'', 1 September 1988, 12:35; "Reappointment To The Immigration And Refugee Board", ''Canada NewsWire'', 7 April 1998, 16:54.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Jackson (Canadian administrator)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
