A Message From Your President

Dear Members,
For those of you who were unable to attend our AGM, I’d like to update you on a few important details.
I am happy to be returning as your President and even happier to have Karen, Lili, and Lorraine all in their previous positions! (This marks a first in ETEA history.) The position of Director, filled by Jean Ardila, was dropped largely because of the new structure of ETEA and the corresponding changes to the constitution. All on the executive are encouraged by new members volunteering as stewards. Please refer to the union contact boards at your campus for the names of the stewards serving your campus. Also, if you see a teacher struggling with contract/union related issues, please guide him/her to a steward.
A new contact list was given out at the AGM as well as a union handbook. If you were not there, you can expect copies of the contact list (if you’re on it) in your mailboxes, and the handbook, the new Constitution and the Collective Agreement on the union boards. Future messages from me will be posted on the union boards at each campus, on our ETEA website and emailed to those members who agreed to be contacted in this way. For those of you who chose not to be contacted through email, please check the union boards and our website for current messages/letters. Letters and other urgent memos will be posted on amber yellow paper (as usual).
Thanks to all those who came forward with such positive feedback about the AGM.
Bari Blackhart
President
