Bulletin
Master Trade Union Group – September 19, 2022 as a recognized holiday
October 28, 2022
To: All MoveUP members in the Master Trade Union Group
For September 19, 2022, both the federal government and the BC provincial government announced the day as a holiday for their public sector employees and employers to mark the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Union believes your collective agreement provides for September 19, 2022, to be a holiday for you but we do not have confirmation whether your workplace recognized the day as a holiday either to be closed and paid or open and employees paid at applicable overtime rates.
The Union’s current view is that Article 8 of the agreement provides a contractual obligation for employers to recognize September 19, 2022, as a holiday.
Could you please email me (Daniel Storms) at dstorms@moveuptogether.ca and confirm whether September 19, 2022, was recognized as a holiday at your workplace.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me as well.
In solidarity,
Daniel Storms, Union Representative
