As ratification approaches for the new tentative agreement so does election time for representatives on the state-wide union management communications committee (UMCC). Under the contract the bargaining unit is entitled to elect seven representatives to meet with management to tackle workplace issues. The election will take place shortly after July 1, the date the new contract takes effect.
As in the past we need a representative from each regional office and headquarters, as well as a field office representative. A call for nominations will go out to bargaining unit members, followed by a ballot.
At the bargaining unit meeting on May 12 an elections committee was formed. Helen Pressley and Scott Mallery volunteered to serve on the committee to help put together the call for nominations and the ballot, oversee the mailing, and officiate the count. We need a few more volunteers for this short term task – please contact Helen or Scott if you can help get this election off the ground. Volunteers should be members who do not intend to run in this election for a position.
Also included in this election will be a call for nominations and vote for Ecology board representative for Local 443’s executive board.
