The Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board (SLRB) issued a Notice of Vote July 16 to determine whether residential and transitional employees of the CBI Health Group in Saskatoon wish to be represented by CUPE for the purposes of collective bargaining with their Employer.
The secret ballot vote is being conducted via a mail-in ballot. All eligible voters – 196 CBI Health Group employees in total – will receive a ballot package including instructions, a ballot and three envelopes. Please carefully follow the SLRB’s instructions provided in your ballot package, using all the provided envelopes to ensure your ballot is not spoiled. (The SLRB uses this double-envelope system to ensure the secrecy of your ballot.)
The deadline for the SLRB to receive ballots from CBI Health Group employees is Tuesday, August 6.
If a majority of eligible voters who cast ballots vote YES then your workplace will be unionized. CUPE can then start fighting for fairer wages, paid sick leave, proper vacations, more control over work schedules and other workplace improvements that the members identify.
If you don’t receive your ballot package (or a delivery notice for this) please immediately contact the SLRB at 787-7210.
