To All Stewards of Pacific Coast Community Resources Inc. (PCCRI)

We want to help strengthen and coordinate a network of PCCRI stewards across the province by having a Stewards' Meeting for Pacific Coast Community Resources Inc (PCCRI)!

We will discuss forming a province-wide Labour Management Committee (LMC) so that we can try to solve issues at your workplace directly with you employer. We will talk about ways to stay connected and get support from other PCCRI stewards, as well as how to bring new worksites into BCGEU. You will have a chance to network and discuss common issues with your employer.

This is a unique opportunity to get together as a Steward at PCCRI or as a Local Chair, it is important that you attend. A Leave Of Absence will be provided, and you will be provided with meal expenses, travel and accommodation, if you are from out of the region. We encourage you to take a moment away from your worksite and think about building power in your workplace!

What is a Labour Management Committee (LMC)?

A LMC looks at issues that are not grievances or OHS issues and is not a replacement for those. LMC is another tool workers can use to find solutions to workplace issues.

For workers, the benefits include:

• an open communication channel to top management.

• an opportunity for input regarding many operational problems and management plans that affect the employees.

• a way to address problems before they escalate.

For Management, the benefits include:

• an early discussion of operational challenges and other concerns helps solve potential problems.

• a timely response to these problems helps resolve potential grievances.

• a more positive relationship with the union committee and better employee communication through elected leaders.

We will be stronger together, so we really hope to see you there!
