Within your contract group are members that have been elected as shop stewards. If you have any questions concerning the union, the collective agreement, or your rights as a worker, a shop steward would be pleased to provide assistance. If you do not know a shop steward please contact the union office at 604-879-4671.
Contract improvements are negotiated between your employer and the union, and changes to the application require mutual agreement between them both.
Negotiations generally start three months prior to the expiry of the collective agreement. It is the practice of your union to elect the bargaining committee from within the membership of the bargaining unit and you will be notified when this will take place.
A collective agreement specifies the terms and conditions of your employment and has been mutually agreed to by the union and your employer. Both parties want the provisions to be respected and properly applied. It is in your best interest to know the contract as it applies to your working environment.
