Are you interested in becoming more involved? Life can be busy enough without additional responsibilities but remember that the decisions of your Union will have a direct effect on you and your co-workers. The strength, effectiveness, and power of our Union are directly proportional to the level of participation and involvement of its members. Here are some ways for YOU to get more involved with 933:
- Attend monthly membership meetings: These meetings are held at 5:00 on the fourth Tuesday of the following months: January, March, May, September & November. The meetings review executive and staff business, the local’s finances, updates on campaigns and initiatives in the workplace, and more. Food and refreshments are provided, and prizes are drawn at the end of each meeting!
- Read your contract and keep it handy – our collective agreement outlines our rights and benefits at work and represents the focus of our Union’s activity.
- Become a steward: The local provides regular training to keep you informed and educated on how to deal with members and management.
- Join a committee: If you are from an equity-seeking group, are politically engaged, or want to be more proactive with health & safety issues in your workplace, join the committee that’s right for you.
- Run for an executive position: Help shape this local to be the best it can be for all of its members.
- Vote in the elections: Have your say in who runs this local.
- Attend a conference or convention as a CUPE 933 delegate: There are many conferences and conventions available to our members each year. If you are interested in attending, please contact your executive regarding your interest.
