We normally have Bylaws, Finance Committee, and Fund Committees. But in the past, our members have also formed the International Members’ Committee and Educational Committee.

PSAC555 Finance and Community Fund Policy Committee

The Finance Committee develops the Annual Budget for PSAC DCL 555 and presents it to the members for approval at the Annual General Membership Meetings.  This committee is chaired by the elected Treasurer and all PSAC 555 members can join this committee.

The Finance Committee also develops the policies for the PSAC555 Hardship Fund,  the PSAC555 International Worker Fund, the PSAC555 Scholarship, the Professional Development Contest, and the PSAC555 Foodbank program. The main objective is to provide our members with clear transparent policies on these funds and how to access them.

PSAC555 Bylaw Committee

The Bylaws are interpreted by the Executive and my need amendments.  Every 3 years (last one done December 2023) this committee will review the old bylaws, all interpretation and create any recommended changes to the PSAC555 bylaws.  The committee will then present these recommendations for changes to the members for approval at the Annual General Membership Meetings.  This committee is chaired by an elected VP and all PSAC 555 members can join this committee.

PSAC555 International Member’s Committee

This committee was formed to provide a PSAC555 orientation to our PSAC555 members. To let our members know about their collective bargaining agreement, what services the Union provides, and advise the members of current bargaining unit issues that may be affecting them.

PSAC555 Educational Committee

This committee was formed to investigate educational opportunities for our membership and schedule these opportunities on campus and off campus. The local often offers the following educational events: “How to be an executive officer; How to process membership grievances; Talking Union Basics; How to create resolutions and rules of order training.”

NEW PSAC555 Committees

There are opportunities to create committees. If you as members would like to form a committee to enhance your worker experience at PSAC555, please let your PSAC555 executive know. Please email us any proposals at Office@PSAC555.ca.

 

In solidarity,

PSAC555 Executives
