Calendar highlights:

We’re locking down meeting dates and locations. Watch your email for your meeting notice.

• Joint Executive Council meeting, Regina, SK – Oct. 11 & 12 – The Joint Executive Council is the governing body of GSU between policy conventions. A meeting of the council is scheduled for Oct. 11 & 12 in Regina. If you have business which would be properly addressed by Council, reach out to your GSU staff representative. 
• Steward Training 2 – Nov. 8 & 9, 2023, Regina, SK – This training is available and will be shared with our GSU officers who have completed Course 1.
• Defense Fund Board of Directors – Nov. 2023, (video conference) – These elected directors oversee the administration and investment of the GSU Defense Fund assets and set policy for payment of strike/lockout pay for union members engaged in collective bargaining disputes. The board meets three or four times a year (or more often, if required) to review the Fund’s financial position, investment strategy and other administrative matters. Most meetings are held via conference call or video technology and paid union leave is arranged for participation in the meetings. Learn more about the Defense Fund Board of Directors here.
• Locals 1 & 2 (Viterra) bargaining – The best way to stay up to date is to sign up for our email bargaining updates. You can also read bargaining committee updates here. 
• Local 5 (Western Producer) bargaining impasse: We’re scheduled to return to the bargaining table Nov. 15 & 16. Learn more here. GSU is committed to the process of bargaining and looking forward to working with the members and the employer to negotiate a settlement that is workable for all. We thank Local 5 members for their patience and continued support.  
• Our Tuesday Members’ Memo is sent to members on Tuesdays. If you know a co-worker who doesn’t receive the TMM and would like to, have them call GSU toll-free at 1.866.522.6686 or send an email to gsu@gsu.ca

What are the benefits of a union?

The Association of Flight Attendants explain what unions do for union members.

The labour movement is not just about decent jobs. It’s about a better life for everyone.
