Committees
Members may join one or more committees at any time during the school year. Participation is encouraged, as it provides an opportunity to explore different areas of the Union, contribute to meaningful initiatives, and develop valuable skills such as leadership, communication, and collaboration.
Our local currently has two active committees, the Health & Safety Committee and the Member Advocacy & Engagement Committee and their mission statements are listed below.

The Local Health and Safety Committee is dedicated to promoting and ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of all members in the workplace. We strive to foster a culture of safety through collaboration, education, and advocacy. Our mission is to identify potential hazards, implement effective safety practices, and empower our members to actively participate in creating a safer work environment. Together, we aim to protect the rights and dignity of every worker, ensuring a workplace where everyone can thrive.
The Member Advocacy & Engagement Committee
The Member Advocacy & Engagement Committee is dedicated to fostering a union culture where every member feels empowered, informed, and supported. Our mission is to identify and dismantle barriers to member engagement, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. Through education, outreach, and skill-building initiatives, we strive to equip members with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for themselves and their colleagues. By strengthening solidarity and promoting active participation, we work towards a more inclusive, effective, and united local.
