Registration forms have been sent to elected GSU officers. In-person attendance at our convention will be strictly limited to adhere to the Saskatchewan government's COVID protocol for gatherings. We only have a couple of in-person credentials left, so if you are hoping to be in Regina for convention (rather than participating virtually), get your registration form filled out and back to GSU soon.

Last night's stormy weather made the journey to vote difficult, but Local 6 members came out in force to cast their ballots and ultimately vote to accept the terms of the Jan. 12 memorandum of settlement.

GSU staff rep Dale Markling has notified the employer of the results of the vote and he is preparing the new collective agreement booklet for distribution to members.

Thank you to bargaining committee members Amber Pearson, Pasha Mughal, Amanda Pearson, and Dale Markling for their hard work in reaching a settlement with the employer.

GSU staff rep Dale Markling is assisting GSU members who filed grievances after a new employee was hired into the same position as the grievors, but at a higher rate of pay than existing employees at the location.

Contacting GSU doesn't mean you are obligated to file a grievance. We will work with you to answer your questions, recommend what course of action is best to follow, and find the solutions that work for you.

These services are provided to you as part of your union dues. There is no additional charge for assisting you.
