- Elections – Sophie acted as Returning Officer
Sophie mentioned she received two applications for the available positions. These are the positions of President and Vice-President. She asked if others wanted to run for those two positions. Seeing no others for these positions, they are elected by acclamation. Sophie also added that there are at least two important positions to fill. These are the positions of Treasurer and Secretary. She therefore asked for volunteers. Members nominated and supported candidates, and candidates accepted their appointment.

- Sandra, guest speaker:
Sandra discussed telework: right to manage 2-3 days/week. She explained the 60/40 or 1.5 week/month policy. She also mentioned the cases of employees who are 125 km away/nominated/exempted. She pointed out that a joint committee should be set up at each department. This doesn’t seem to be the case (please check) or take it to the employers council. The right to manage is not really part of the hybrid model directive. Here, it’s important to understand that there must be consistency and credibility.
There were many questions, exchanges and answers between Sandra and the members.
