Alpine Counselling Clinic – Welcome

Dear employees at Alpine Counselling Clinic.

On behalf of our union, I would like to personally welcome all of you to the MoveUP family. We are thrilled that so many of you at Alpine Counselling Clinic have chosen to join a union and chosen us to represent you both collectively and individually with your employer. This is a role we take very seriously, and we thank you for entrusting this to us.

Being part of a union means you now have a stronger and more unified voice in your workplace. This is a critical part of shaping the terms and conditions that affect your work environment. We are excited to meet all of you soon to discuss the issues at your workplace, find out what matters most to you, and negotiate a collective agreement that best suits you and your co-workers.

Whether you are new to a unionized environment or have been in a unionized position in the past, we realize that you may have many questions about how being a MoveUP member will affect you at your workplace. If you have questions or concerns, I encourage you to reach out to your Union Representative, Sara Colliss, by email at scolliss@moveuptogether.ca or by calling our office at (604) 299-0378.

As a reminder, we will not collect any union dues until we have finished negotiating your first collective agreement. Thereafter, your dues are 1.5% of your gross wages and are tax deductible.

Your Union Representative will be in touch with you shortly. If you have not done so already, please make sure that MoveUP  has all of your contact information including email and personal phone number. You can send this information to MoveUP’s membership department at membership@moveuptogether.ca.

Once again, welcome to our extended family. We are happy to have you.

In solidarity,

Graeme Hutchison
President
