Board of Delegates meetings will be held in January for Local 1 (Viterra), Local 14 (Richardson), and Local 15 (Nutrien). Each Local will hold its own meeting, which is an essential part of the democratic process that guides GSU’s work. These meetings play an important role in ensuring the flow of information from members to the representatives they elect, allowing for their concerns and priorities to shape GSU’s direction.
At our autumn membership meetings, sub-locals within these three Locals elected their delegates to the Board of Delegates. These individuals are tasked with representing their members and voicing their concerns. During the upcoming Board meetings, the elected delegates will take the next step by selecting their representative to the Joint Executive Council, GSU’s central decision-making body.
Additionally, the delegates will review the business and priorities for their respective Locals in the coming year. These discussions will include setting goals, addressing workplace issues, and ensuring the union remains effective in advocating for members. Local 15 is actively preparing for upcoming bargaining, which will also be a key topic on their meeting agenda.
