Want to learn how vacation scheduling is supposed to work in your collective agreement? Join us for a lunchtime zoom session on your rights and recourse when it comes to vacation schedules!
This virtual lunch and learn session will go over the basics of vacation scheduling in the collective agreement, and what to do if you or other union members in your office are having their vacation requests denied.
We will also have a brief Q&A for questions about vacation scheduling, or other questions about the collective agreement.

Greetings BCGEU Members,
From folk songs to hip hop to protest chants, music has long been a part of the labour and activist movement all over the world.
Area 01 Cross Component Committee would like to invited you to a special workshop on Thursday, December 14, 2023 intended to explore, create and invigorate this musical tradition. In this workshop, there is no previous musical experience required; in any way shape or form; simply a desire to express and participate. If you just want to sing, you can sing!
If you play an acoustic instrument (guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, fiddle or bass) please bring them along! You will be provided with the lyrics and chords for the songs so everyone can join in.
In this workshop we will be focusing on 4-5 songs. We will look at the history and content of the song, and ways to continue to make them relevant today. Lyrics can always be modified and adapted, but some of these songs are as true today as they were 100 years ago!
If you would like to acquaint yourself with the songs prior to coming out, please let us know so we can connect you with resources.
We hope to see many of you there and share in the joy of song, build solidarity and have some fun.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
We hope to see you there!
In solidarity,
Peter Janz, Shop Steward & Recording Secretary, Local 301
and the Area 01 Cross Component Committee
You are invited to attend a one-day enhanced steward training at the BCGEU Lower Mainland Area Office. This full-day training will build your confidence as a steward and provides a chance to share your successes and challenges, and your strategies for addressing worksite issues.
In order to allow as many stewards as possible to take the course, we are providing four course dates this year. The course content will be the same for each course. Please register for ONE of the following courses. There is maximum number of people per course, so register early to ensure you get the date you want.
Once you have been registered in the course you will need to request leave from your Employer as soon as possible. BCGEU will provide paid union leave to attend this course, and a catered lunch will be provided.
