Committees

Elected Compensation Employees’ Union officials sit on a wide array of Joint Committees with the Employer to discuss and promote our Members’ interests on non-grievance issues, including: Workload; Harassment; Drug & Alcohol; Return to Work; Mental Health; OHS and more.

Finance and Investment Committees

Michael Hess, Treasurer

The CEU Treasurer acts as Chairperson of both the Finance Committee and the Investment Committee.

The management of CEU finances is guided by general principles of fiduciary responsibility.  This is similar to being managers of a trust fund. CEU elected Executive Board members are entrusted with the care of your CEU money and CEU property.

There are two parts to this financial management: the income of the union (based on dues and investment returns); and, the spending authorized by the union (annual operations of the CEU office). Generally, the Treasurer monitors income/spending and makes financial recommendations to the Executive Board.

Michael Hess was elected CEU Treasurer in November 2019.
