Information for all open positions can be found on the Elections Committee webpage. We will note that the JDs for two positions (Health and Safety Coordinator and Vice-President) were reviewed ahead of this round of elections. That review has resulted in some changes to the JDs and administered as per our Bylaws. Those changes will take effect for the upcoming term. Information about the processes governing our elections can be found in our By-Laws in Article 13. If you have any questions about the positions, elections processes or nominations, direct your questions to our Elections Committee at elections@unifor5555.ca.
A final call for nominations from the floor will take place at the General Meeting on 03 October 2024, and nominations will close at that time. Details regarding acclaimed positions and timing of the election will be determined and communicated to the membership after the close of nominations.
