It is time for our 2026 union officer elections to begin! Material has been mailed out and it's time for potential candidates to file their paperwork and get started.
Here are the primary documents that you will need and were mailed out by our Elections Committee.
We also want to share the election policies, including for post-election challenge. Remember that you are not allowed to use any workplace or union resource for campaigning. This means that any campaigning for union election candidates is strictly prohibited union Facebook Groups and WhatsApp threads.
