Notice of Election for BC NDP MLA'S (Constituency Assistants) Bargaining Committee - BCGEU

Published on February 10, 2020

Your current collective agreement expires on June 30, 2020 and plans are now underway to return to the bargaining table. Therefore, a new bargaining committee must be elected. 
Nominations are now open, as follows: 

    •        Chairperson of the Bargaining Committee, one position
      •    If more than one candidate is nominated, there will be an election.
         
    •        Bargaining Committee member, two positions
      •    If more than two candidates are nominated, there will be an election.

 Yes, you can be nominated for both elections. The ballot for Chairperson will be counted first. If you are elected Chairperson, your nomination for Bargaining Committee member would be unnecessary and withdrawn. If you are not elected Chairperson, you cannot be nominated for Bargaining Committee member at that time. Only candidates nominated before the deadline will be eligible to run for election.

Any other campaign material used by any candidate is their responsibility. Please note that the biography must accompany the nomination form and the nomination forms must be signed. Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
