Douglas College - Call for Nominations for Bargaining Committee - BCGEU

Published on October 18, 2021

Nominations are now open for the Douglas College Support Bargaining Committee.
 
There are four spots available, as follows:

  • Chairperson of the Bargaining Committee, one position
  • Bargaining Committee Member, three positions

Any BCGEU member working in the Douglas College Support bargaining unit can be nominated or accept nomination to run in the election.

The election for Chairperson will be conducted first. If more than one candidate is nominated, there will be a ballot and the candidate with the most votes will be elected.  Once the Chairperson has been chosen, there will be an election for the three Bargaining Committee members.

✔ Yes, you can be nominated for the Chairperson position and for the Bargaining Committee member positions. If you are elected Chairperson, your nomination for Committee member would be unnecessary and withdrawn.  If you’re nominated for Chairperson and you want the option to run for Committee member if you don’t win the Chairperson election, you have to be nominated before the close of nominations on November 18th, 2021.

In order to be nominated, a member and nominator must complete the attached nomination form and that form must be returned by: 12:00 pm on Monday, November 18th, 2021.

Each candidate who is nominated may complete, and send back with their nomination form, a campaign bulletin or information sheet on ONE 8.5" x 11" page which the Union will distribute to the membership with the ballots and post to the website in the event of an election. Any other campaign material used by any candidate is their responsibility. Please note that the information sheet should accompany the nomination form and the nomination forms must be signed. Please read and follow the instructions carefully.

Please email your completed nomination forms to:  [email protected]
