Call to all interested CUPE members…..
Sites are now looking for CUPE 411 employees to sit as representatives on their respective Joint Occupational Health and Safety (JOHS) committees.
As per our collective agreement each JOHS committee has room for a minimum of two (2) members to actively participate on the committees and for those interested we would encourage you to express your interest via email to your manager or administrator.  Please “cc” me in on your request vicepresident@411.cupe.ca, then I will be made aware if there is interest in excess of two (2) members in which case this can be addressed promptly as to who will be eligible to sit on the committee since this decision is made by the Union and not the Employer.
As the unions health and safety rep I am happy to answer any questions or address any concerns that you might have pertaining to your sites JOHS committees or OH&S in general.

In Solidarity,
