Virtual town halls (VTHs) were scheduled for the evenings of May 27 and 28 to update SEIU-West members about SAHO bargaining and answer bargaining questions. Unfortunately, the VTH on May 27 ran into major technical glitches. We apologize if you were one of the hundreds of members whose experienced this failure. We were not satisfied that the supplier of the VTH platform would be able to properly fix these problems in time, so we decided to cancel the May 28 VTH.
You may have noticed there hasn't been an announcement about bbqs for the summer yet.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) has been a focus for the past several years for the Workers of Colour Multicultural Mentorship Committee and Young Workers Committee because we see racism, we experience racism, and we want desperately to end racism. The prejudices fueled by racial discrimination happen on a personal level, but also in a systemic way.
The Workers of Colour Multicultural Mentorship Committee (WoCMMC) will be sponsoring up to two delegates to attend the THREADS Cultural Conversations 2024 Conference, hosted by the Saskatoon Open Door Society. This is a virtual conference. The MMC will reimburse lost wages for those who are selected to attend according to our policies.
