FortisBC Customer Service Centre – JOSH Expression of Interest – Prince George
November 29, 2023
To: All MoveUP members at FBC-CSC Prince George
MoveUP is looking to fill two (2) union representative vacancies on our Joint Occupational Health & Safety Committee as alternates!
The committee members serve alongside employer representatives and work to ensure that any health and safety related concerns in the workplace are addressed.
Now, more than ever, we need to ensure union representation is at the JOH&S table!
The committee is responsible for meeting monthly to identify and make recommendations that correct unsafe and unhealthy work environments. Per the Workers Compensation Act, time spent on approved committee activities and meetings shall be without loss of pay. In addition, the Workers Compensation Act entitles committee members to eight (8) hours of educational leave each year paid for by the employer.
As a trained JOH&S representative, you would conduct worksite inspections and participate in any investigations or inquiries at the workplace, as well as represent the union at the joint committee level.
Expressions of interest should be forwarded to Rysa Kronebusch at rkronebusch@moveuptogether.ca. All bargaining unit committee members are appointed by President Graeme Hutchison in accordance with our constitution. Please feel free to contact me if you would like further information.
In solidarity,
Rysa Kronebusch
Vice President, Utilities
