Press Release
April 07, 2026
As your collective agreement expired on April 1, 2026, the Union needs to elect a bargaining committee to prepare for negotiations with your Employer.
The collective agreement will cover members of the entire bargaining unit, e.g. indigenous early years program, medical clinic and dental clinic.
Nominations are now open for the positions of three Bargaining Committee members.
Please see the attached sheet which outlines the responsibilities of bargaining committee members. The BCGEU staff representative who will be the negotiator will provide training to the bargaining committee.
If more than three members are nominated, the Union may need to conduct an election.
If you are interested in being on the bargaining committee, you and your nominator should complete and submit the attached nomination form.
The deadline for return of nomination forms is Thursday, May 7, 2026 by 5 p.m.
Please send completed nomination forms to the following:
