BCGEU – Learn and Grow by Becoming a Union Observer
October 15, 2024
To: All MoveUP Stewards at BCGEU
Becoming a Union Observer is an important and rewarding experience. It is an opportunity to help support your colleagues through the internal hiring process by ensuring all candidates are treated in a fair and impartial manner, with the potential to report the actions of the job selection panel to the Union if needed.
As a shop steward, you are already a top-notch workplace advocate. Union observers must maintain the strictest confidentiality; under no circumstances are the panel proceedings to be discussed with anyone other than a Union representative.
As set out in Article 17.6 of your collective agreement, Union Observers are appointed by President, Annette Toth and are obliged to observe the selection panels in accordance with MoveUP’s instructions.
If are interested in this opportunity please send an email to your Vice President, Christy Slusarenko, at cslusarenko@moveuptogether.ca.
Training details to follow.
In solidarity,
Phil Bargen
Union Representative
