Important Information Affecting Your Rights – Please Read!

A voting package will be mailed to each member for whom the BCGEU has a home mailing address. A member who does not receive a voting package may contact the local Area Office for one to be issued.

Ballots will be cast using a two-envelope privacy and declaration system. For a ballot to be counted, (a) it must be sealed inside a privacy envelope; and (b) that privacy envelope must then be sealed inside a declaration envelope on which the member must provide at least their full name and signature, and should provide their complete contact information. A ballot that is returned without a privacy envelope or in a declaration envelope that does not include at least full name and signature will be invalid and will not be counted.

Marked ballots must be returned to the BCGEU Negotiations Department by Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at 5:00pm.

In solidarity,

Ryan Stewart

Staff Representative, Negotiations
