Voting Information
Next Wednesday, we will email you a link to vote online and your unique voting credential. Voting will open on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. and will close on Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. Please participate and vote. This is the only method for casting a ballot.
The voting credential will be emailed to you from [email protected]. Please add this email address as a contact or approved sender in your email client-this will help ensure the credential is delivered to your inbox.
All employees of The Dorchester in the bargaining unit represented by the BCGEU are eligible to vote on ratification.
Troubleshooting
If you still do not have a voting credential after checking junk/spam and quarantine folders, this is likely because the BCGEU does not have your personal email address. If this is you, or if you experience problems casting your voting, contact the BCGEU Negotiations Department at [email protected] (preferred), or by calling 604-291-9611 or toll-free 1-800-663-1674, ASAP after voting opens and by no later than Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. This will allow enough time for problems to be addressed before voting closes. Phone support is available only during regular BCGEU office hours.
Ratification Document
When you vote, you will be voting on whether to accept the entire tentative agreement contained in a ratification document that will be emailed to you on Monday or Tuesday next week. The ratification document is lengthy, and we will only speak to the highlights in the meeting. It is very important that you read the entire ratification document in advance so you can understand everything you are voting on, and so you can ask any questions you have at the meeting. Again, you can expect a link to the ratification document early next week. Your bargaining committee recommends that you vote "yes" to accept the new agreement.
Highlights of the tentative agreement can be found in our September 26, 2024 bulletin.
In solidarity,
Ryan Stewart
Staff Representative, Negotiations Department
