Local Union Executive Board Meeting March 10, 2016

Unifor 1016 LUEB Minutes

Teleconference, March 10, 2016

In Attendance

Group RRSP

Currently open to Plab B pensioners only
Will be opening up to everyone once the Sunlife website is updated
Expect that to be prior to June
Rollout of the official program will commence in the fall of 2016 with the new pension software rollout

Karen Hudson-seniority issue

Karen and David Ready both declined the invitation to this LUEB
With no new evidence being provided and the latest evidence provided by Karen supporting that she left knowing that the transition was in the works but made no effort to secure her own seniority, the LUEB voted unanimously to uphold the previous decision
NB Shawn Wood abstained from voting and Jim Walker was not on the call at the time of the vote

AFTN Confirmed Users

Shawn has heard nothing back from management on this
He did, however, talk to Leslie Hartley, YYZ UOS
YYZ has not seen a reduction in workload, in fact there has been an increase in calls from these users when they can’t get their flight plan in
YQM has been experiencing a similar pattern but they can’t pull up the flight plan to look at it
There is a way through ATWS
*Nicholas to have YQM UOS to contact YYZ UOS to confirm how to do this

Expenses

Shawn and Michelle will preemptively write the checks for unit funds/rep expenses to be mailed to each rep as their unit fund reports are received. This should eliminate any delay
As for expenses, we are usually together when those are incurred so there isn’t a delay currently

Website

Webmaster is discontinuing his business at the end of this year
Need to replace his services
Want to upgrade/update the website when we do
Need to tender development
Michelle has a friend in the field, she can help us put together a tender proposal
Information we need * Shawn to ask Andre
# of pages
# of pages that are secure
Traffic statistics
Page structure
How we will handle domain name handover
Can we look internally-may be a conflict of interest and we want a business that can provide long term service
How about the National’s service-quite expensive
Do we want to have a Forum again-we need a moderator if we do, and Forum vs. Facebook is an outstanding item-lets focus on website at hand
Jean, Michelle and Christine will work together on putting together a Request for Proposal for the website

EVP Position Requirements

Complaint received from a member in Winnipeg that the requirements implemented at Convention for the new EVP Position are unconstitutional
By-Laws are at National for approval now
If the requirements are indeed “unconstitutional” they should flag it and send them back
*Shawn to repond as such to the member, Joel Fournier and Jim Walker
