WORKPLACE EQUALITY
Breaking barriers, opening doors to workplace equality is a report on equality-related employment issues for 3903 members. It was written in response to the need for the local to have a more clarified position on equity. We will be voting on an equity policy, as proposed by the Employment Equity Committee, at the next GMM. Click here for the entire report

Please click here for the first Employment Equity plan the local has had! It was approved by the voting members of the JEEC at the Sept. 18 2012 meeting.

(GMM = General Membership Meeting = the ongoing, usual business of the local. SGMM = Special General Membership Meeting = SGMM = a Special General Membership Meeting, called for a specific reason. Discussion must stay on that particular topic)
