If you’re unsure whether a concern is too small to reach out about, don’t hesitate to contact us. GSU staff reps are here to assist with a wide range of questions, big and small. For example, you can call us to help clarify your lunch break arrangements.

“Depending on which employer you work for, your collective agreement may specify different setups for breaks, such as being paid for lunch if you’re available at your desk, taking lunch nearby to return to work if needed, or heading offsite,” said GSU staff rep Donna Driediger. “There are a number of variables to consider and if you aren’t sure about your situation, call us and we can help sort things out.”

GSU is there when you need backup. Contacting GSU does not mean you are obligated to file a grievance. Our services are provided to you and paid for by your union dues. There is never an additional charge for assisting you and there is no limit on the times you can seek advice or assistance.
