USW General Membership Meeting on May 10, 2010

By email of January 10, 2010, members of PDAD&C and Professionals/Managers were advised of the dates and times of the three USW general membership meetings scheduled for 2010. The link to this information may be found at https://people.utoronto.ca/news/memoranda/0910/20.htm

This is a reminder that USW has scheduled a General Membership meeting for May 10, 2010 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Room 1170 Bahen Centre

In accordance with the terms of the staff-appointed collective agreement between the USW and the University, employees are to be released for up to two hours, with no loss of regular straight time pay, up to three times per year to attend these meetings. This meeting includes the employee’s lunch period if it would normally occur at or about this time. Members at UTM and UTSC participate via videoconference.

Please note that in accordance with the terms of the collective agreement employees who will be attending the USW general meeting must notify their manager at least one week in advance of the meeting date.

There is no comparable clause in the non-appointed (casual) collective agreement. However, such employees may attend on their own time if they are not scheduled to work.
