New Member Fees

The Vancouver Local is pleased to add Interac email transfers as a way for New Members to pay their Initiation fee to the Local.

When filling out a New Member application with a Shop Steward, a Member can now send an email transfer to:

 [email protected]

New members can still pay by cash or cheque if they wish.

If paying by transfer, the email address must be filled out for the Local Secretary Treasurer to coincide with the email transfer.

In Solidarity,

Kevin Biggs, Secretary Treasurer

JOIN US AS A PICKET CAPTAIN!

Picket Captains are the backbone of our Union during strikes, serving as frontline organizers and the embodiment of solidarity on the picket line. As a Picket Captain, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring our members’ voices are heard and their rights are protected.

Your responsibilities will include maintaining attendance on the picket line to ensure members receive their strike pay, coordinating strike duties fairly, and ensuring the safety of our members. You’ll also be the point of contact for any emergencies or decisions that may affect all members on your line.

Picket activity is closely monitored by Canada Post, including corporate security, supervisors, and the media. With clear anti-scab laws in B.C., Picket Captains may need to report any scab incidents to the Union promptly.

As a Picket Captain, you’ll relay important information between zone coordinators and members, ensuring smooth communication and information flow during the strike. You’ll be a vital link in our Union’s strength and resilience.

Picket Captains are Postal Workers just like you, who have stepped up to take on additional responsibilities. Your commitment and dedication will be crucial in showing our strength in numbers and solidarity.

The Local needs volunteers for Picket Captains, and the more volunteers we have, the stronger our Union will be.  Join us in solidarity as we stand together for our rights and a better future for all.

The Local will be providing a Picket Captain course on October 25, 2024. The deadline to send your name and contact info to the email below is October 17, 2024. Join us in solidarity as we stand together for our rights and a better future for all.
