As a result of the expression of interest process, the Union is pleased to announce Jenny Joly and Janice Prasad have been acclaimed to the vacant bargaining committee positions as follows:

Jenny Joly – Bargaining Committee Chairperson

Janice Prasad – Bargaining Committee Member

Your committee will be meeting soon to review issues and develop proposals prior to meeting with the Employer.

To assist the Bargaining Committee in preparing for bargaining, all members should complete the enclosed survey to bring forward issues for the bargaining table.

Please return your complete bargaining surveys in the stamped self-addressed envelope we have enclosed for your convenience. You may also fax your survey to 1-800-946-0244 or send via email to [email protected].

All surveys must be returned to BCGEU headquarters no later than Thursday, June 29, 2017.

Your committee is committed to reaching a fair and equitable collective agreement on your behalf. We will keep you updated throughout the bargaining process. Bulletins will be sent by email to those members who have registered their emails with the Union and will also be posted at your worksite and on the Union's website. To ensure you receive copies of all bargaining updates in a timely manner, we recommend that you update your existing contact information by going to the BCGEU website at www.bcgeu.ca or by notifying your bargaining committee.

In solidarity
