Member Update – July 2024

Just a few items that may be of interest to members:

Eligible regular-term (12-month) members who have not already submitted an application to the Health and Wellness Fund may do so between August 1-31, 2024.  The newest application form can be found on the Union’s website under the “Resources” tab in the menu, you will need to scroll down to find the link.  Members can also find an updated Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) document that should help provide clarity on a number of items.  All applications and supporting documents are to be emailed to unionoffice@cupe411.ca, any submissions outside of the designated intake periods will not be accepted, and only eligible applicants may apply.

A friendly reminder to members to continue to monitor Make a Future for job postings as we anticipate seeing a significant number of postings to be published in August.

Reminder to 10-month members whose assignments are seven (7) hours a day, five (5) days a week, to be mindful of how you want to work your additional twenty-five (25) hours for the 2024-2025 school year, as it may be to your benefit to use this time prior to the September 3rd school start date.  Please take a few minutes to review the Letter of Understanding (LOU) and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the Union office, 604-392-1411.

Lastly, a reminder to members that are still working over the summer months, should you find yourself in need of a medical leave or sustain a workplace injury and want to know what the appropriate next steps are that protect your best interest, please do not hesitate to reach out to a Union rep for guidance and support.
