UBCO members-Don't forget to vote! - BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU)


Last week, your bargaining committee hosted three ratification meetings online and in-person to discuss the details of your Tentative Agreement. Over 150 members of your bargaining unit participated and had the opportunity to hear directly from the committee about your tentative agreement and to engage and ask questions. 
 
Watch a recording of the webinar here in case you missed it!
 
We are happy to see that so many of you have already voted on the tentative agreement, but if you haven’t yet you still have time! Stop by the ADM Foyer or BCGEU Kelowna office this week and cast your ballot at the following times:
 
(1) Ballot Box #1: BCGEU Area Office: January 16th – January 20th, 2023 (8:30 AM – 5:00 PM)
(2) Ballot Box #2: ADM Foyer: January 16th – January 20th, 2023 (12:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
