Nomination and Election of Delegates

Good day Brothers and Sisters

By now the journeyman members of the Local should have received the notice of Nomination and Election for Delegates to the International Convention in Boston that was sent out on May 11, 2017.

As most of the membership knows Local 110 has not in previous years mailed out a notice for Nomination and Election for delegate positions. It has always been the policy of Local 110 to nominate and elect delegate representatives from the floor of our monthly General Membership Meetings as required. This year was no exception, with Nomination and Election of delegate for the International Convention completed at the March 2017 General Membership Meeting.

Our process was brought under scrutiny by the International and it was found by International General President McCourt that we were in violation of US federal law that requires notice of Nomination and Election the same as an Election of Union officers, and that the US Department of Labor requires that selection of delegates attending conference in the US must comply with US law even if the delegates are from Canada. As such our Delegate Election from March is void.

Since there is limited time before the International Convention General President McCourt has waived the timelines in our Constitution and Bylaws, so that notice could be sent out and Nominations and Election could be held at the June 2017 General Membership Meeting. This will allow Local 110 to be fully represented at the 2017 International Convention and be in full compliance with Department of Labor requirements.

I hope this clears up any confusion caused by the change of process.

Thank you

Action Alert

Help us to Unstack the Deck – Message your MLA and attend the Rally for Labour Rights

What

The Economy Has Changed. So Should Our Workplace Laws. That is why the Alberta Federation of Labour has launched the Unstack the Deck campaign to encourage our provincial government to implement progressive labour legislation in Alberta

How to Participate

Click here to send a message to your MLA telling them it’s time to unstack the deck for Alberta workers, and then,

Attend the Rally for Labour Rights:

Join us in front of the Legislature Building at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 30th for A Rally for Labour Rights. RSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1845997118988315/

Background

Generations of right-wing governments in Alberta have stacked the deck against working people in our province, leaving us with one-sided workplace rules that favour employers at the expense of employees.

The Government of Alberta is in the process of reviewing and updating our workplace laws. As the first progressive government in Alberta since the 1920s, the NDP has an opportunity to unstack the deck and level the playing field by giving Albertans an Employment Standards Code with real teeth and a Labour Relations Code that allows people to exercise their constitutional right to join unions and bargain collectively.

ACTIMS Women in the Trades Award & Bursary Program 2017

Last year, ACTIMS held the second Women in Trades Awards & Bursary Program for members of the Building Trades who are working in the heavy industrial construction/maintenance industries in Canada.

From the dozens of applications received, we were able to recognize three (3) women from various Locals across the country who demonstrated excellence, integrity, and leadership in their respective trades at their workplace.

Once again, ACTIMS will be commencing the program for 2017, and is hoping to attract even more participation in the upcoming year!

Attached is the information package that outlines the program in detail, and an application form, which interested candidates can complete and return with their pertinent documents, to the ACTIMS office. Applications can be submitted from February 1st through till April 30th.

We request that you distribute the attached package to all of your affiliates in order for the program to receive the maximum coverage within the building trades community.

A tripartite committee comprised of members of the ACTIMS Board of Directors will assess the applications during the month of May, and present their recommendations to the full Board for approval. Winners will be recognized at the ACTIMS Annual General meeting in July 2017.

Please note that this information and the application form can also be downloaded from the ACTIMS website www.actims.ca

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
