PLEASE NOTE: The meetings will follow an agenda as per guidelines issued by the National Executive Board.
- The vote will be preceded by a “membership information meeting” lasting approximately 45 minutes.
- Only members in good standing of the local are entitled to attend the information meeting and vote on the ratification of the collective agreement.
- The doors will be tiled (locked) 15 minutes into this meeting.
- Ballot boxes will be made available to collect votes immediately after the “membership information meeting”.
- Questions, answers and discussion can take place while members vote.
This vote will determine our future. It is very important that every member votes. It is even more important that it is an educated vote. All of the changes made to our current collective agreement by this tentative agreement are available for download HERE. Hard copies will soon be distributed on the work floors. Watch our web site and your bulletin boards for information.
In Solidarity,
