Dear Members,

We will be holding a Special Membership Meeting (SMM) on October 5, 2022. This SMM is specific to bylaw amendments for the Local. Attending this Special Membership Meeting will include the proposed bylaw amendments and vote.

Special Membership Meetings differ from General Membership Meetings in that “no business shall be transacted at the Special Membership Meeting other than that for which the meeting is called, and notice is given.” More information on Special Membership Meetings can be found in Section 5b of the CUPE 4070 Bylaws.

Previously, a bylaw amendment was facilitated by providing the Membership with a package and voting period. Upon further review of the bylaws, the Union Executive has determined that this process was not as it was written or intended in the bylaws.

SECTION 17 - BYLAWS 

(b) Amendments  

These bylaws can only be amended if:  

(i) the amendment does not conflict with the CUPE Constitution; 

(ii) the amendment is approved by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of members voting at a General Membership Meeting or at a Special Membership Meeting called for that purpose; and  

(iii) notice of the intention to propose the amendment was given at least seven (7) days before at a previous membership meeting or sixty (60) days before in writing. 

Members in Good Standing (that have signed a Union Card) are asked to register for our Teams meeting using this link:
