New procedure for contacting the Union effective 02/01/2026
 
There is a new procedure in place starting February 1, 2026 for contacting the union. The reason for the new procedure is that there needs to be a chain of command system set in place, and there needs to be a paper trail for any and all issues that the membership is having. In the event you need assistance or simply have questions about union related issues, this is the new procedure:
 

Step 1

  • Contact the Shop Steward already in your building. Many issues can be resolved at this step and won't require additional steps. 
  • If the Shop Steward is unable to resolve your issue, then the Shop Steward will contact the Executive Board Member assigned to your building for assistance. 
  • If there is no Shop Steward in your building, or if you would prefer not to contact them for a specific reason, you can contact your Executive Union Rep directly for assistance.
Step 2
  • There are specific Executive Board Members assigned to various building throughout the district. Their assignments were well thought out and their placements are in the best interest of the membership. 
  • If you need to contact your Executive Union Rep for any reason, their specific building assignments and contact info is below. Again, most issues can be resolved at either Step 1 or Step 2, and won't require additional steps. 
  • If for any reason you would prefer not to contact the Executive Union Rep assigned to your building, you have the option of contacting any of the Executive Board Members for assistance.
Step 3
  • If the Executive Board Member is unable to resolve your issue, the Executive Board Member will contact the President for assistance. 
  • The hours that the President can be contacted are Monday-Friday, excluding school holidays, from 10am until 6:30pm. If you contact the President during these days and times and don't receive an immediate response, it is because the President is unable to answer the phone call at that moment due to already being on the phone handling union business, in a union-related meeting, or not in work the day you called. 
  • The President DOES NOT have the bandwidth to handle every single issue that the members have. Almost all of the issues that arise on a daily basis can be handled at either Step 1 or Step 2. 
  • Please respect this new policy-it is in the best interest of the membership as a whole.
