***REMINDER*** BC Transit – Ratification Vote – Bargaining Update #11

To: All MoveUP members at BC Transit
****REMINDER*** Voting is now open
Due to the recent developments with the COVID-19 Pandemic, your bargaining committee is unable to hold an in-person ratification vote. We apologize for the inconvenience as we would prefer to meet with the membership in person.
As such, your bargaining committee will be conducting an online ratification vote. Please follow the instructions below to register to vote.
You will need to have an account on MoveUP’s Member Portal in order to vote. If you have not already registered on the Member Portal, it is simple and easy!
You will require the following information to authenticate your registration:
- Membership ID number
- Personal email address.
If you do not have your membership ID number please email our staff at membership@moveuptogether.ca with the subject “BC Transit Ratification Vote- Membership ID” and include the following information:
- First and last name
- Name of your employer and work location
- Home and/or cell phone number
- Personal email address
- Mailing address (ensure this is your residential address and not your work address)
Staff will e-mail your membership ID and mail your membership card.
If you know your membership ID, you can log onto the Member Portal now and click on the box in the top right corner of the website labelled “Member Portal.”
Register by clicking on the “Sign Up Now” box then complete the required information (as above). You will need to set a secure password which will ensure the safe and secure voting process.
IMPORTANT: When you log in to the Member Portal, double-check to ensure your work location listed is accurate. If you notice your work location is incorrect, please contact our membership department at 604-299-0378 or 1-800-665-6838 immediately.
We recommend that you register early and reach out to us if you are having any issues. The cutoff to register for voting is noon on Monday, June 1, 2020. If you have not registered by then you will be unable to vote.
The ratification vote will be open from Tuesday, June 2, 2020, 8:00am- Thursday June 4, 2020, 8:00pm.
