Sisters and Brothers:
We would like to thank our members for attending the General Membership meetings; we would also like to thank you for your time and patience.

SHOP STEWARD POSITIONS & COMMITTEES 2024 - 2025 TERM
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
This is a reminder that the Shop Steward and Committees term runs from April to March, therefore, to be a Steward for the 2024 - 2025 term, YOU MUST RE-APPLY (BE NOMINATED) for the position. If you do not put in another nomination, your stewardship ends at the end of March. NOMINATIONS/ACCEPTANCES MUST BE FAXED, MAILED OR HAND DELIVERED, NO EMAILS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

GATEWAY WEST STAFFING CONSULTATION
Sisters, Brothers and Siblings:
