The PSAC Southwestern Racially Visible Committee is chartered!! The first meeting of the racialized members committee will be on Tuesday, November 14 @ 5:30pm on Zoom to get us started. In this meeting, we will hold elections for the first Executive Committee, consisting of a Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. We highly encourage all members to think about taking a leadership position, even if you do not have union experience so far. The aim of this committee space is also to create space for newer members. Any racialized member in the region can run for a position by self-nominating or having another member nominate them, and having a seconder to the nomination. You don’t have to hold any other positions in the union and as a newly formed committee, you will have support from PSAC.https://ontario.psac.com/events/southwestern-racially-visible-committee-meeting/

In line with PSAC and CEIU National; CEIU Local 581 has set a deadline for its members to make a claim for a local strike pay top up. This is required in order to ensure we are able to obtain funds from CEIU Ontario Region that we will then direct to our members.

The deadline for CEIU Local 581 is November 30, 2023.

All members wanting to receive a top up from our local must have submitted a pay stub dated July 19, 2023 or earlier to localceiu581@gmail.com and fully completed the google Claim Form no later than November 30, 2023.

Any member that has not completed these two required steps by November 30, 2023 relinquishes any entitlement to a strike pay top up from CEIU Local 581.

As the sixth month since the end of the strike approaches, they have set October 31, 2023, as the deadline for strike pay errors to be signaled.

At CEIU, we have chosen to also communicate our timelines. The following information applies to the national top-up (50$/day). For any questions about local top-ups, please contact your local union.

Should there be some type of error in your file, you have until November 15th, 2023 to communicate this to us at CEIU. Strike pay top-up payments will not be made following this date.

Feel free to reach out should you have more specific questions about national CEIU top-up.

Thanks,
