LNHS – Travelodge Section 54 Notice
January 31, 2024
To: All MoveUP Members at LNHS-Heatherlands
| The Employer has served the Union a Section 54 notice noting that B.C. Housing intends to wind down the Travelodge program, with the program closing as of May 31st, 2024.
What is a Section 54 notice? Section 54 of the Code currently requires that employers provide at least 60 days of notice to a union if it intends to introduce a “measure, policy, practice or change that affects the terms, conditions or security of employment of a significant number of employees.” Section 54 requires the Parties to discuss an adjustment plan. What are the next steps? We are in discussion with the Employer to schedule meetings to discuss the winddown, how it impacts employees at TL, and to discuss the application of provisions in the collective agreement such as severance packages and alternative employment placements. This will be a long process, but we’ll keep you updated as information becomes available and as we can continue our discussions with the Employer. You can reach me at nbeausoleil@moveutogether.ca, or at 778 580 5191. In solidarity Nathan Beausoleil, Union Representative |
