Your bargaining committee has met on three days to develop a package of proposals to present to the employer on your behalf. We will meet again on August 22nd and 23rd to finalize the package.
At this time we have been able to get confirmation from the employer to meet on September 17th, October 16th and 17th, and November 15th, 16th, 19th and 20th.
We are pleased to let you know that we will be trying a new approach to bargaining during this round by opening up the process and providing an opportunity for members outside of the bargaining committee to attend each joint session as observers. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of two members at any one time. We are unable to provide leaves of absence to allow you to attend, but if you are interested in joining and supporting your bargaining committee for a morning or afternoon on your own time please consider signing up. During August, you will be advised of the process to be included as an observer. As the bargaining committee is made up solely of members who are in nursing positions, your committee would especially like to encourage members who are working in other classifications within the bargaining unit to consider joining us. (e.g. Care Aides, Wellness Assistants, Admin, etc.)
Watch for future bargaining bulletins which will be sent out after each set of talks with the employer.
Bargaining bulletins will be emailed and mailed to all members at Elim provided we have your current addresses. Please take time now to log onto the BCGEU member portal at https://members.bcgeu.ca/login and update your personal contact information, including providing us with your personal home mailing and email addresses.
