REGISTER

Bargaining Status Reports

Your Defence Fund officers team would like to gather information on bargaining status. Please use this link to provide us with a snapshot of status across unions at this time. The form can be accessed on a computer or mobile device and should take approximately 5 minutes to fill out.

Before the meeting, Directors will be required to submit more substantial written reports on their bargaining status. As bargaining status has the potential to change significantly between now and October 15, a form will be provided closer to the date of the meeting. 

Hotel Accommodation

Please make your hotel reservations via the link on the CAUT Defence Fund website or through this direct link Book Your Group Rate | Marriott International. The bedroom rate at the hotel is $209.00 (plus fees and applicable taxes) and the deadline for reservations is September 28, 2022. As per 8.3.1 of the Standing Rules and Regulations, the Defence Fund will only reimburse the negotiated amount of $209.00 (plus fees and applicable taxes) for hotel room costs.

Please note that in lieu of a hotel room, Directors may claim a room allowance at half the applicable meeting rate.

If your union will not have an elected Director for the meeting, please nominate a member union proxy holder/director nominee by September 16 and make the reservation in that person’s name.

Remember that if your proposed new Director has not yet been elected, your union will also need to complete a Director Nomination form, as well as a Proxy Appointment form, to be able to vote at the Members’ meeting. Forms can be requested by sending an email to Catherine Aubin at CAUTDefenceFund-CaisseDefenseACPPU@caut.ca.
