Urgent Business or to be otherwise assigned:<\/p>\n \n \u00a041 CUPE Job Action Update (Melissa Moroz):\u00a0 ASB, Campus Security, Saunders and Saunders Annex have all been picketed for part or full days. Essentials services are in place for these buildings as per the global order. John Hall attended a Solidarity lunch on Sept 11 where it was agreed that CUPE would keep some of our signs available on their sites for PEA drop-ins to use. Student Affairs reps have asked staff in the counselling office to remove job action signs from their public areas, which they did.<\/p>\n \n 42 Bargaining Update\/Membership meetings<\/p>\n Bargaining set for tomorrow, September 13 with another date in progress for next week.<\/p>\n \n 43 Invitation to meet with employer<\/p>\n Steve Gorham has offered to meet with the executive for informal discussion of the job action. We decided to decline at this time, but would consider meeting for a post-mortem once it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n \n 44 Chapter Elections \n 441 \u00a0Appoint of new chapter V-P to replace Gore<\/p>\n Today is Tom\u2019s last meeting, which leaves a vacancy in the vice-president position. Motion (SD, SK): that Leslie Kenny be appointed as vice president. Carried.<\/p>\n 45 2012 AGM<\/p>\n Three possible dates for the AGM are November 6, 7, or 8. Leslie will contact Catering services to check availability of Arbutus-Queenswood on those dates. The booking should be for 90, which is the number who attended last year.<\/p>\n \n 46 Fall Social Event<\/p>\n Deferred for the time being.<\/p>\n 47 Filling vacant UVic position on PEA Association Executive<\/p>\n Tom\u2019s retirement also created a vacancy in the Association\u2019s VP position. John Foxgord will be moving into this role, which then triggers a vacancy in one of our chapter\u2019s two member-at-large positions. This decision is postponed until the next chapter meeting when everyone is back.<\/p>\n \n 48 Review to-do list<\/p>\n All of the items identified at our August retreat have been completed with the exception of writing a letter of support for CUPE to be published in the Martlet.
