BGIS Workplace Solutions Inc. - WSI Tentative Agreement Info Meetings & Ratification Vote - BCGEU


Tentative Agreement Information Meetings

The bargaining committee is hosting an information meeting in each of the four provincial regions as defined by the BCGEU. The meetings are being held at a location in each region close to where a majority of members work. As participation in person will not be possible for some members due to geography, a call-in option is provided for each meeting. Members are encouraged to call in to the meeting taking place in their region. Members may participate in either or both of the sessions in their region.
