The decision is now yours to make. You will find the company’s Memorandum of Agreement HERE. Please read through it carefully.
Zoom Information Meetings
We will be holding online meetings next Tuesday and Wednesday to answer any questions you may have and explain the company’s offer. Linked below:
Online Voting
Date: August 12th
Times: from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.
You will receive an email to the email address your union has on file. Please let Rick Schneider know if you need to update this information by sending him your correct/preferred email to: rschneider@ufcw401.ab.ca.
This online voting will be conducted by a company called Converso. They ensure a secure and independent voting process. You will be given a secure code that is individualized just for you. The online voting platform will use a tracking system to ensure that voting credentials are only used once. Your vote will not be shared with anyone – your vote is 100% confidential. Your union will be cross-referencing in-person voting lists and online voting lists to ensure that each member only has the opportunity to vote once, so the integrity of the voting process is maintained.
Support service will also be available through Converso to assist members with issues with online voting. Converso will send out comprehensive information about online voting to the email address we have on file for you.
Converso recommends that, where possible, you avoid using a Hotmail email address for this process, as Hotmail sometimes automatically blocks the emails you need to receive.
Please ensure we have your correct email as soon as possible.
The question on the ballot will be:
- Yes – I accept the company’s offer.
- No – I reject the company’s offer, and I ask my Union to take the necessary steps to hold a strike vote.
Please make sure you vote. Don’t let others decide for you!
