Lots of business was done, and lots of emotions were had. CUPE convention was a great experience even from my desk in Alberta as I watched it online.

If you have ever wanted to watch CUPE today would have been the day to do so. Congrats to Mark, and Candice they won their seats for another two years. A general resolution at the end of the day nearly broke the convention. At the very least it shows that trauma over resolutions are real and need to be managed properly.

Convention Floor Business Starts!!! 1 Constutional and 1 General Resolution were actually voted and passed at convention. Good start to a long week. Looks like Mark and Candice will be keeping their positions. No one is running against them.

Here is my report on the Convention, the election, and Chris Smalls. For Reference, Cori Longo ran without a rival, and Gil McGown beat Gregg Mady 60/40 split. I also speak about Chris Smalls and I included an echo track of his talk. Chris spoke to us about Amazon and the Labour Union he helped co-found. Whatever you think of him, it was important, and I think worth publicizing. I tried to increase the audio. A...

We are talking about vacation. 7.03 - 7.08.

Employees don't really take a look at this clause. I wanted to take a moment and dive into it.

If there are any errors please correct me. I am always going to defer to the union leadership for their interpretation.

Enjoy.

Mark as Played

We have an election. You have your ballots in the mail, and I encourage you to vote and mail it in. I and others running are counting on you! Feb 27 is the deadline for being at the box office. If you miss it, you can come to the hall to vote.

Also what is going on with Local 829? Medicine Hat News says they are under administration just prior to voting on a deal... very interesting since getting a deal to vote on is not a reason t...
