Callout for volunteers for CAPE’s Member Conduct Roster

CAPE is looking for volunteers to join the 2025-2028 Member Conduct Roster (MCR), pursuant to By-law 5.  By-law 5 provides a framework for acceptable member conduct and the resolution of disputes between CAPE members.

The MCR consists of 12 members and is established by the National Executive Committee (NEC) on a triennial basis.  The MCR is used to establish 3-person Roster Panels, which receive member-to-member complaints under By-law 5 and may be required, among other things, to:

  • Review individual complaints and determine whether a complaint is screened in

    • Conduct investigations and reviewing investigation reports, where appropriate

      • Make recommendations to the NEC based on the findings from an investigation

        • Maintain confidentiality throughout the complaint process

The Roster Panels are struck, as needed, and review individual complaints to ensure an unbiased consideration of each case. The General Counsel shall assist and advise each Roster Panel in making decisions that are not arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith.

CAPE members can apply now for the Member Conduct Roster

In establishing the MCR, the NEC will first consider the skills and competencies of the candidates, and, where possible, will endeavour to find balance across regions and bargaining groups. 

Qualifications:

  • Must be a Regular or Pending member

    • Must not concurrently hold office as President, Vice-President or as a director of the NEC

      • Ideal candidates will have a keen interest or experience in dispute resolution. This qualification will be assessed in a follow-up process.

Deadline to apply

Please submit your application through the registration form no later than 5 p.m. on April 16, 2025.
