Thank you sisters and brothers for a well-attended General Membership Meeting!

Congratulations to Charlotte McCallum (GEOG) for being elected as the Chief Electoral Officer; to Zachary Arthur (PHYS) who was elected to the position of Communications Rep; and to Dee Rose (SOC/ANTH) for being re-elected as the Sessional (Unit 2) Chief Steward – Welcome aboard.

And congratulations to the winners of the Good Of The Union #10 Crossword Puzzle prizes: Muhammad Amin ($50 1st Prize); Adam Sparks (Black History Month Book Prize); and Muhammad Uzair (Bob’s Dogs Tickets).

At this meeting, the motion to authorize the Exec to hold an all-membership vote (Referendum) to give a mandate to call for any legal job action if and when it is deemed necessary, was brought to the floor, discussed and voted on. The result was extremely successful, with one vote against and no abstentions.

We thank you one and all for standing up and giving us the benefit and support of your voices, voices we can take to the negotiations table with us.
