A bargaining committee is required for the next round of Bargaining. Nominations are now open for three positions on the Bargaining Committee:  two bargaining committee members and one alternate. A member may be nominated for either position or for both positions.

The Bargaining Committee Chairperson and Bargaining Committee Members' duties include: attending face to face meetings with the Union Bargaining Committee and the Employer; communicating with bargaining unit members regarding collective bargaining and other bargaining related issues; performing research; participating in conference calls; attending meetings of the bargaining unit regarding collective bargaining; acting as deputy returning officer during votes; and other duties as they relate to the collective bargaining process.

Please complete the attached nomination forms to indicate your willingness to be elected to a position on the bargaining committee.

Completed nomination forms (attached) should be sent to the Union as follows:

  • Nomination forms and biographies (if you wish to submit one) should be forwarded to Lynda Morrice, Staff Representative – North Island Area Office, by email [email protected] , fax at 1-800-946-0247, or by mail to 106-1650 Terminal Ave N, Nanaimo, BC V9S 0A3.
