Bulletin
Neighbourhood Housing Society Membership Meeting and Bargaining Survey Information
February 3, 2023
To: All MoveUP members at Neighbourhood Housing Society
A membership meeting has been scheduled as follows:
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2023
Time: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Via Zoom: Meeting link to be sent to home email
As discussed at the previous meeting of January 12, 2023, we will be looking for someone to volunteer to serve on the bargaining committee. For those of you who were not able to attend the previous meeting or who we didn’t have contact information for, your union will be starting bargaining with your employer to achieve a first collective agreement. In order to ensure that your voices and concerns are heard, we will be asking one member to serve on the committee, alongside your union representative.
You will be receiving another bulletin early next week titled Bargaining 101, and this bulletin will explain the bargaining process.
In anticipation of bargaining, a survey is one of the first steps. Completing the survey lets you address any of the concerns that you have and what improvements you’d like to see. There will be detailed questions asking what you are looking for with your first collective agreement.
A link to the online bargaining survey will be sent to your home email address during the week of February 6, 2023. If you cannot complete the online survey, please let us know and a hardcopy survey will be sent to your home address.
Please complete the bargaining survey by 4:30pm on March 3, 2023, to allow time for your bargaining committee to review and start drafting proposals. If you are mailing the survey to the union office, please ensure it is sent early enough to be received prior to the deadline.
Please make every effort to attend the meeting.
In solidarity,
Yudon Garie (she/her/hers)
Union Representative
