May 2022 - CAPE’s President, Greg Phillips is touring Canada in person this spring to connect with Locals across the country, hosting hybrid meetings that follow public health guidelines. The meetings are meant to provide Locals with updates on key issues and more broadly, to hear from them and to better understand their needs.
In 2021, members of the National Executive Committee and of the management team committed to launching consultations with Locals meant to assess their needs and challenges in view of providing them with the support needed to meet their mandates and to thrive.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Local executives have also faced new challenges that will require some adjustments. Their environment is changing fast, and CAPE wants to assist where most relevant and useful.
During this tour with the president, Local executive and members will be able to discuss the following:
- EC collective bargaining
- CAPE transformation - increasing membership services and representation
- Development of and support to locals
- Treasury Board updates, including: Public Service Health Care Negotiations, Mandatory Vaccination Policy and the Return to the Workplace Guidance.
And more!
*Note that these meetings are not part of the locals’ yearly AGMs.
