  • Bylaws, Resolutions and Convention 2020

    Bylaws, Resolutions and Convention 2020

    Unifor 2002: Bylaws, Resolutions and Convention 2020 OCTOBRE 2019 Most union members are familiar with their own collective agreement, also referred to as ‘the contract’. The collective agreements are in essence the rules that both the company and the unionized workers have agreed to abide to in their respective workplaces. Unifor Local 2002 also has rules that it must abide by. They are called ‘the Bylaws’ which are the fundamental outline of our objectives, principles and most importantly govern how our union is run. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about the bylaws: Q1 : WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A BYLAW, AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT ME? A : For example, the District Chairperson deals with management on your behalf. Article 4.9.01 in the Bylaws states: “Each District shall be represented by a District Chairperson who shall be elected by the District members to conduct the District affairs of the Local Union.” Other articles go on to lay out the duties of the District Chairperson and how and when they are elected by the membership that they seek to represent. Q2 : HOW DO THE BYLAWS GET CHANGED? A : The Bylaws are discussed, debated and voted on at a triennial convention. Our next Local 2002 Convention will be held May 20-23, 2020. Changes to the bylaws come from the membership through resolutions. This fall there will be resolution meetings in each region to allow our membership a chance to come up with changes that they would like to make to our bylaws. (Upcoming regional resolution dates to be announced).

    Northern Ontario Air Transportation and Remote Community Resilience and Wellbeing

    Northern Ontario Air Transportation and Remote Community Resilience and Wellbeing by Pia Isabel Dimayuga A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Pia Isabel Dimayuga 2020 Northern Ontario Air Transportation and Remote Community Resilience and Wellbeing Pia Isabel Dimayuga Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the role air transportation plays in northern Ontario remote community wellbeing and resilience using mixed methods based on a modified resilience framework. Six years of cargo data and flight operations data from one airline in the region are analyzed to first, map how remote communities and their infrastructure systems are dependent on air transportation, and second, to analyze air transportation performance. Air transportation is the only mode of year- round travel in 31 northern Ontario communities and therefore plays an essential role in connecting communities to essential goods and services (e.g. food, healthcare). In terms of infrastructure interdependencies, the main cargo delivered by air is diesel fuel for energy, with a secondary good being construction materials. Performance-wise, air transportation faces both infrastructure challenges (e.g. lack of weather reporting, inadequate de-icing services) and operating challenges (e.g. poor weather) that are exacerbated by climate change effects. ii Acknowledgments Throughout the process of developing and completing this thesis, I’ve encountered many people who have contributed not only to this research, but to my personal growth and understanding of the world. Thank you to the University of Toronto and the XSeed funding program.
