The AGM for 2017 will be on Monday, April 10th at noon in the Multipurpose room (by the Owl). Lunch will be provided at 11:45 and the meeting will start at noon to make sure we can keep it to an hour or less.

CUPE2419 WINE & CHEESE EVENT

by
Hello members of Cupe 2419!
Do you like your union and want to know how things are going in the local? Do you like wine? Do you like cheese/fruit/assorted meats?
If you answered yes to any of these, especially the first, you should come to our Valentine’s day wine and cheese event.
When? Friday, February 17, 3-6pm
Where? RIC Atrium
Cost? $2 gets you a wine or non-alcoholic drink, with access to assorted snacks. Every drink thereafter is also $2.
Why? To meet and greet with your fellow union members, to meet and learn about the various committees, and to just unwind after a hectic week and celebrate the beginning of reading week. Also, the why is contained in the wine. Whyne = wine = come to the event. You can’t argue with that logic.
How? Walking, running, biking, driving, skiing, skipping, jogging, ballooning etc.
There is a lot happening with the local this year, so we hope to see you there and tell you about it over fancy cheese and drinks.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE 2419 Executive

Committees

by

Hello members,

Are you looking to get involved but don’t have too much time to spare? By joining a committee, it can work around your schedule and you still are able to help out.

Committees are fun, you get to meet new people, and you can build new skills that benefit you in the workplace. You can also get an honorarium for the time that you put in.

Look at our committees (same password) and contact us if you are interested.

Membership Survey

by

As some of you know, our Collective Agreement with the University ended last month and they are not able to meet with us for bargaining until later next month. Before that we want to get the general feeling of the membership on a few ideas and working conditions. We have created a survey to do that. Please fill out the survey as soon as possible as your input is important.

The page to find the link is here.

You can leave and come back to the survey if you have cookies on and it’s a personal computer. It should only take 5 to 10 minutes to fill out and you will be entered into a draw. Submissions are confidential and is separate from the draw.
