2022 Bargaining Survey (CUPE Local 46, City of Medicine Hat)

 

Dear CUPE Local 46 Members:

Proposed amendments to Local 46’s Constitution & By-Laws were presented, discussed and voted on at the June 8, 2021 General Membership Meeting by members in attendance. The changes were then sent to CUPE National for approval.

In mid-October 2021, CUPE National replied to inform CUPE Local 46 that the changes had been approved. As such, the updated Constitution and By-Laws were in effect as of mid-October 2021. This information was relayed to the CUPE Local 46 Executive and to registered attendees of the November 9, 2021 General Membership Meeting.

Approved changes included the removal of the sections pertaining to CUPE Local 46 accepting applications from members for Get Well Gift Certificates and Bereavement Donations due to tax-related issues that had been brought to the attention of the CUPE Local 46 Executive. As such, CUPE Local 46 no longer accepts applications for or processes Get Well Gift Certificates or Bereavement Donation requests.

For more information, please contact the CUPE Local 46 President using the information provided on the Contact Us page.

The CUPE Local 46 Table Officers would like to wish all CUPE Local 46 members a happy holiday season and also express their hopes for continued wellness to you, your family and friends.

A motion was properly made and seconded at the CUPE Local 46 Virtual General Membership Meeting on June 8, 2021 to cancel the 2021 September Family BBQ. Following discussion, the motion was carried. As a result, there will be no September Family BBQ in 2021.

The CUPE Local 46 Social Committee is currently looking into the feasibility of planning and hosting a Christmas Retirement Banquet and Dance. More information to come in the Fall.

Due to the current layoffs and bumping process that is currently taking place within the City of Medicine Hat please be advised, that should anyone involved in the process require Union assistance please contact the CUPE Local 46 president Sam Ferrier at cupe46@shaw.ca or by telephone at (C) 403-504-7421 or (W) 403-527-7662.
