Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Vancouver local was forced to postpone the 2020 annual election. With no end in sight to restrictions on gatherings and social distancing we need to look at an alternate solution to conduct the 2020 elections. Due to these restrictions we are unable to use any Canada Post facility to carry out our election.
Therefore, elections will take place at the Union hall at 111 Victoria Drive, Vancouver. It will be spread out over a six (6) day span. As access to the building is restricted, we will hold our election in the parking lot. The parking lot entrance is just west of Victoria Drive on Pandora St.
Due to the inability to conduct our elections at each individual installation, all shop stewards who are running for positions will be appointed until the 2021 election, at which point they will need to officially run again. All shop stewards who ran in this election meet the criteria for eligibility, as per Article 9.4 of the Vancouver Local Bylaws.
There are two (2) positions on the Executive Committee that will require a secret ballot election:
Part Time Officer Chief Shop Steward
Secretary-Treasurer PPC Internal #2 Shift/Wickets/Group 1 C&D
