L-4 Right of Directors to Represent Members

Sponsors: Ontario Regional Council | Disposition: Died on the Order Paper

Whereas the Board of Directors has changed the Dispute Resolution and Discipline Policy as follows “Members of the Board of Directors shall not act as representatives of any Institute member in relation to any matter at any stage of the process”; and

Whereas if the employer restricted the right of elected union leaders to represent our members in the workplace we would consider this to be oppressive; and

Whereas PIPSC is complex structure and Directors are often the ones that know most about it and are in the best position to help and assist members; and

Whereas members may be subject to discipline that could have would not have been imposed if they had been represented by a Director;

Be it resolved that the new wording “Members of the Board of Directors shall not act as representatives of any Institute member in relation to any matter at any stage of the process”, be struck from the Dispute Resolution and Discipline Policy
