Members on Contract Receive Update at October Virtual Town Hall

AMAPCEO members with fixed-term, temporary, or contract status gathered virtually earlier this month for a town hall covering a wide range of topics.

The webinar featured President Dave Bulmer, Vice-President Cynthia Watt, along with AMAPCEO staff Jenny Krabi (Dispute Resolution Officer) and Leah Rowlinson (Labour Relations Specialist).

Highlights from the town hall include:

Labour relations: return to the workplace, bargaining coming up

Bulmer provided a labour relations update to those on the call. He indicated that phase III of OPS return-to-workplace is delayed until November 1. With a gradual return to work, Bulmer encouraged members to get vaccinated if they haven't already done so.

Bulmer also discussed the union’s preparations for bargaining. Members in the Ontario Health – Quality unit are already at the table, with six other units beginning talks as early as January 1, 2022.

Review of Accommodations

For members in the OPS, the provisions are outlined here:

• Workplace Accommodations
• Family Status Accommodations

Members on contract who have questions about their status should contact an AMAPCEO Workplace Representative at the same employer.
