NSNU Bargaining Conference - November 18
As of October 31st, all but one of NSNU collective agreements will expire. In preparation for talks with your acute care, long term care and community care employers, the NSNU will host a Bargaining Conference on Tuesday, November 18th at the Inn on Prince in Truro.
Local representatives from all sectors are welcome to attend. Every Local is entitled to be represented by at least one delegate. “Each Chartered Local shall be entitled to elect or appoint one (1) voting delegate per one hundred (100) members or portion thereof, all of whom shall be members of the Chartered Local.”
Locals are encouraged to follow the AGM delegates election process – Article 8.03 of the Constitution to determine eligible attendees. A Table Officer or designate must register for their Local participants. PNC members and Alternates must register themselves.
Registration opened on September 26th and will close on October 17th. The link to registration was sent to Table Officers on September 26th via an e-memo. Each registrant will receive an email confirmation upon completion of the registration process.
Members are also encouraged to participate in surveys. If you have questions pertaining to bargaining, please contact nsnubargaining [at] nsnu.ca.
