Bargaining
Coast Mountain Bus Membership Meetings to Elect Bargaining Committee
October 22, 2018
To: All MoveUP Coast Mountain Bus Members
MoveUP and Coast Mountain Bus Company’s collective agreement will expire on March 31, 2019. Please be aware the agreement will continue in full force until a new agreement is negotiated and ratified. Before this can happen, you must select your bargaining committee.
You will be electing a combination of MoveUP Coast Mountain Bus stewards, and executive councillors to represent you at the bargaining table. The bargaining committee will consist of 4 members as well as your union representative. Ruth Ritchey from the Training Department has been acclaimed by President David Black. Your union representative will also sit on the committee to lead negotiations.
We need your voice in order to select the remainder of your bargaining committee. Your Job Stewards have nominated the following stewards to potentially sit on the committee:
Vivian Ho
Don Modequillo
Rafael Paterno
Vayia Platko
In order to expedite this process, we require your attendance for an in-person vote, which will be held at the following 3 locations. Please note there will be no mail-in ballots for this process, only members at the meetings will be able to cast their vote. We ask that you make every effort to attend one of these important meetings.
