We love seeing new members coming to committee meetings such as Area Council meetings, Regional Committee meetings, Human Rights Committee meetings and we are working on the Young Workers Committee meeting.
One aspect that makes part of Area Council is the bylaws. The bylaws are the rules of how a committee operates. Example, we need to have 3 members of the executive to meet a quorum
There are specific criteria set out by PSAC constitution and the bylaws of Area Council. A council must be in compliance in conjunction with PSAC constitution about who can vote. Only members in good standing can vote. Each affiliated local or branch and DCL shall be entitled 2 delegates for the first 500 members and 1 additional delegate for each additional 500 members
After breakout room session, Adam Booker, Brayden Haul, and Shawna Goodman were selected as members that will be voting for CEIU.
