Professionals Making A Difference
With nine months remaining in the current collective agreement, the Prince George School District Chapter Executive reviewed the context for collective bargaining in the BC public sector and decided to begin early preparations for bargaining.
These preparations included scheduling the Annual General Meeting for October 14, in order to have a new Executive in place to lead the Chapter into the bargaining process. Final planning for the AGM is underway and the location will be announced when confirmed.
The PGSD Joint Committee continues to provide a forum to discuss issues that are raised by the membership. A recent change in the School District’s communications policy would require members carrying District cell phones and blackberries to sign a pre-authorization for a payroll deduction to pay for telecom charges beyond a fixed cap. The issue has been raised and discussed with Chapter Chair Bart Cerda, who is adding the matter to the Joint Committee agenda.
