Delegates Debate Resolutions
Delegates debated one bylaws amendment and four resolutions on the final day of convention.
The amendment to Bylaws Article 7 passed and will put member representatives elected to serve on the Nurses’ Bargaining Association provincial bargaining committee on paid union leave from their employer or elected union position. This includes regional council members, who have previously at times served in both roles simultaneously.
Delegates debated and defeated four resolutions calling on the union to:
- Allow members to hold two full-time union positions at the same time but only work one of them at a time.
- Make council meetings viewable live online to members, with the recording posted for members to view behind the member portal.
- Develop its own app to aid members in reporting workplace health and safety issues.
- Investigate Municipal Pension Plan investments to determine if they are invested in weapons production and report the findings back to members.
The convention ran out of time to debate seven other resolutions, which now become the business of BCNU Council to consider and report back to members within six months.
