Your Bargaining Committee met in September to begin the bargaining proposals. We are now looking to find out what your priorities are for this round of contract negotiations with the Employer.

Attached you will find a Bargaining Questionnaire. We ask that you take a few minutes to fill this form out and return it to the BCGEU Nanaimo Area Office. This can be done in a variety of ways:

1) Facsimile: 250-740-0070 or 1-800-946-0247

2) Email: [email protected] & [email protected]

3) In person: Sara Knippshild, Bargaining Committee Chairperson & Mike Scott, BCGEU Staff Representative will be collecting these questionnaires at a membership meeting at the office.

· DATE: Thursday, November 9, 2017

· TIME: 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

· LOCATION: Nanaimo Area Office

106-1650 Terminal Ave N, Nanaimo

This meeting is open to all BCGEU members at ICCS. Please feel free to bring your questions and proposals to the meeting.

Please return the completed questionnaires by November 9^th at 4:30 p.m. The Bargaining Committee will meet the following week in final preparation for bargaining. We know that not all members have access to a computer and/or printer. For this reason, we would ask you to assist them if you can so that they may have the opportunity to participate in the process.

If you do not receive this bulletin via email and regular mail, it means that the Union does not have an up-to-date email or mailing address for you. You can update your current personal contact information on-line by going to the BCGEU website at http://www.bcgeu.ca/change-address to enter your information.

If you have any questions, please contact the office at 1-800-667-1997.

In solidarity

Mike Scott
