Notice to Bargain

The BCGEU recently gave formal notice to the employer to commence the bargaining process as the current collective agreement term ends on June 11, 2018. Of course your collective agreement remains in full force and effect until a new agreement is negotiated and brought to all of you to vote on and ratify.

Elect your Bargaining Committee

There are three positions for the BCGEU Bargaining Committee available. Nominate who you think would be your best representatives for bargaining. Please find the bargaining Committee Nomination form attached to this bulletin. If you are interested in being on the Bargaining Committee, just have a co-worker (BCGEU member) sign it to nominate you and then you must also sign it to accept their nomination and ensure the form is fully completed and submitted by the deadline noted below. If there are more nominees than positions, then an election will be held.

Fill out Your Bargaining Survey – We Want to Hear From You!

This is your opportunity to have a say in the terms and conditions in your collective agreement. It is very important that every BCGEU member fill out the attached bargaining survey, because your bargaining committee will establish its negotiation priorities based on the survey results. Please ensure you submit it before the deadline.

If you want to take a look at your collective agreement before you fill out your bargaining survey, you will find a copy here: http://former.bcgeu.ca/collective-agreement/precision-orthotic-laboratory.
