4. Presidents Report:
I would like to take a moment to remind members that when engaging in consultation with the employer, it’s important to start at the lowest possible level. Issues that cannot be resolved there will then be brought forward to local management, and if necessary, to the regional and national levels.
We have made some small but meaningful gains with the employer. Consultation continues to be a continuous and collaborative process aimed at supporting informed decision-making that prioritizes the safety and work-life balance of our members.
At this time, no information has been released regarding the new fiscal year budget. We will share updates with members as soon as details become available.
This year, we have partnered with the Branch for our AGM to help subsidize costs and provide more opportunities for member engagement.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself, or one of our stewards — Jolene or Jody.
Motion to accept by Emma, seconded by Jolene.
