If I’m the successful candidate for the Vice President position at Thunder Bay Regional, my vision is to bring transparency, increased communication, education on union processes and building a strong sense of community between our members.
Though I have not held a position on the Executive prior, I have had the honor of representing us at the negotiation table during the last contract. It was a great experience and an inside look at it means to write a contract, negotiation tactics and sit across from Human Resources to represent you, represent us.
I commit completely to educating myself on all things related to the role so that I can confidently represent you to the best of my ability.
I strongly believe that communication is key. I promise to keep you informed on everything I know and everything I learn as well. The more adept we are at understanding our contract, laws, grievance process etc, the more we can confidently identify and address issues, or questions as they arise.
I want to meet with you. I want to hear your concerns and questions. I want us to build strength and community and be the voice we need.
*I worked in the Admitting/Registration for eleven years and have been in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab for eight years.
*I was a member of the Bargaining Committee at our last contract negotiation.
*I have completed steward training.
*I along with some of our other members represent Clerks/Cope at the Staff Advisory Committee.
Let’s build on what we have and keep the momentum going. I want to work together to build a strong, educated, collaborative and communicative team.
