Member Action Team (MAT) Meeting
2025-03-24 18:30 - 19:30, 2025-04-07 18:30 - 19:30, 2025-05-05 18:30 - 19:30, 2025-05-19 18:30 - 19:30
This is your opportunity to support bargaining for a strong contract!
This is an ad hoc committee that meets to engage members. During bargaining cycles this involves working as a conduit of information from the membership to the bargaining delegates and committee, and from the bargaining team to the members. Outside of bargaining the work is more focused on signing up new members, activating members, and identifying potential leaders.
