President’s Report
Reminder of AGM next Tuesday, June 25th. There could be 3 new subgroups created that would affect Ottawa Metro Sub Group numbers (Leitrim, Ottawa South and the former GAC could combine with 350 King Edward to make a new group) These new groups would take about 1600 Members out of Ottawa Metro.
Vice-President’s Report
Currently focusing on Support for Bargaining Team. Still working with Contracting out. Difficult to reach people with so many working from home. Need to get parity with UNI at the Bargaining table.

One table will be at the front for Presentations, Executive to sit at different tables with the members. Speaker will be Stephane Aubry, possibly also Stan Buday.
Randy Oomen advised Steve Anderson had been invited to count ballots.
Eric Pascal Bourré volunteered to work at the Reception Table and take care of taxi chits. Eventbrite was suggested to help with registration – may not be needed. Eric said Members are asking about our contract, would like to arrange lunch and learn. Asked if we could do a ‘work to rule’ he was advised that CS’s cannot take job action.
Kimberly Tombs asked how to get around the ½ hour lunch restriction, suggestions were made to take time off (vacation, sick, etc), request permission to take a longer lunch and work later in the day. I Need Taxi chits.
