It’s time to build your Union!
USW Local 2010 is designated as an Amalgamated Local Union, because there is more than one bargaining unit and Collective Agreement (contract) within its Membership. The different workplace units/contracts in an amalgamated Union are known as Units.
USW Local 2010 is designated as an Amalgamated Local Union.
We are now running elections for the Local 2010-02 Interim Unit positions. The elected positions include, the Unit Chair, Unit Secretary, Unit Grievor, and Union Representatives (aka Stewards).
The role of the 2010-02 Interim Unit is to oversee the operations of the 2010-02 Unit, and to ensure that all policies, guidelines, and practices are administered in accordance with the USW Constitution, Local 2010 approved By-Laws, and with approval of the Executive Board Officers.
Further details regarding the governance and duties of Local Union Officers can be found here.
Eligibility for Election: To be eligible for election to the Interim Unit, members must hold a work contract with Queen’s Residence this upcoming academic year.
Experience: We anticipate that most Residence Dons will not have prior experience in running a Local Union Unit. Based on this, Local 2010 will train those who are elected to the Interim Unit.
