Constitutional Referendum Vote to be Held November 21st – 29th

Earlier this Fall, CEU sent information about proposed CEU Constitution & Bylaw amendments moved by Shane Campbell, CEU VP, and signed by 50 CEU Members. The proposed amendments were introduced and discussed at the CEU AGM in October 2024.  The proposed amendments emailed to you for your review.  The amendments address the following subjects:

  • Proposes language to provide the CEU President at any given time, retroactive to Jan 1, 2024, with salary and benefits top-up (paid by CEU) to their existing WCB-paid salary and benefits so that their salary/benefits package is equivalent to a pay group 11, special increment Member under the Collective Agreement
  • Introduces a Personnel Committee and a new charge to formalize accountability of the President role
  • Housekeeping changes to ensure clarity, number updates, cross-reference updates etc.

WHAT'S NEW

A Message From Our President

Hello CEU Members,

Last year was a busy year!

One of the greatest challenges we faced was the extreme weather conditions, including intense wildfires which again affected many of our Members, directly and indirectly. Another ongoing challenge has been heavy workload demands on our Members, and the associated Mental Health consequences.  During the past year, you have demonstrated great resiliency and commitment, despite the environmental and systemic barriers that you’ve encountered.

One of the greatest changes in the work environment continues to be work at home. Nearly 95% of you continued to work from home in 2023 and we’ve heard that this is viewed as a cherished benefit. Working from home presented a few challenges but seems to be a more comfortable model now that language has been negotiated in the Collective Agreement.
