The Rock and a Hard Place - Why Fred won't or even consider leaving GVP.
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Fred Hahn is the President of CUPE ON. He is in the media for many reasons. Currently it is about something he posted and what that makes him according to people who don't know him, or what CUPE is fighting for. As complicated as this is. There is a reason why we won't see him step down. It has everything to do with what the Convention Resolution allows him to do and how a person who makes mistakes can apologize, learn from the mistake and move forward. It also has to do with how the NEB is formed and why removal of any NEB member is nearly an impossible ask. Just like asking for your Preimere...

Deal struck. 3, 3.25, 3.25. Everything else was the same except for stronger language on the seasonal recall. Thanks to everyone that came out to vote.

Memorandum of Settlement - Three Year Deal sweetened with 0.5%.
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Information is working its way down the chain. What I can share is in the episode. This is a yes for me. I hope you can find it in your selves to vote yes as well. Compounded this deal is 9.8% over three years. I am told what was offered and accepted in principal is 3, 3.25, 3.25. Some language changes around seasonal recall but all the other negotiated items were included as well. Looking forward to signing this deal, and thanks to the Union officers who took a good offer, listened to the membership, went back and squeezed out a bit over 0.5% including the other monitary...

No for the 3,3,3 deal. Now what? Strike Mandate
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Strike mandate on the horizon. My thoughts. Some may think we are in a zero sum game, or a win-win. At this stage we are hovering near a lose-lose. We are in a cooling off portion. Call the hall if you have questions.

L37 is moving forward. L38 is cooling off.
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
L37 is being offered 3%x3 over 3 years. L38 is being offered 3%, 3%, 2%. They are asking for 4%, 3.5%, 3%. Compounded from both the difference is about 1.59%. They are dealing with other issues that L37 are not concerned with, but L37 have got in writing some things they have been looking for going back many contracts. My support for L38 and my desire to move forward with our proposed contract are important in my dedication. 1.59% may not be much but sometimes it is not entirely the monetary that keeps contracts from being signed.

Health Spending Account 2023
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Every year you have to claim it to get it or you lose it. Follow the information and get back the health spending account back from the last year. You have until Feb to do this. Must be able to sign into GSC and must have your last pay advice of the fiscal year.
info_outlineEvery time we have elections as civil servants most day to day activities are independent of who sits on council. That is what I thought when I started. Now I am starting to see those who are council are very important to the vision of the City. What they decide moves its way across the corporation. Today I am not as worried as I was a week ago.
Thanks to CalgarysFuture.ca, and Cross Border Interview Podcasts for showing me that being open and honest about the process is still possible. I was starting to get worried that social media was forever tainted.
