Call for Nominations – Vacancy – 2 Component Trustees Positions (mandate: 1 and 2 years)
There are two (2) vacant Component Trustee positions for the remainder of the term ending on January 31, 2024. In accordance with the Air Transat Component Bylaws, the call for nominations for this position is being issued.
This is a great opportunity if you have been thinking about getting involved in the Union but are unsure as to how much time you can commit. Trustees play an important role, ensuring accountability for the financial affairs of the membership.
Members who desire to be nominated for the position of Component Trustee, shall file nomination papers and must have at least 50 signatures from eligible voters on the“Membership List”.
NOTE: Nomination forms and instructions will be available from the Component Tabulating Committee at attabulating@gmail.com
Candidates shall disclose their full name and intended position (Component Trustee, mandate 1 year or mandate 2 years) clearly on the nomination papers prior to soliciting signatures.
* IMPORTANT: Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, and on an exceptional basis, the Component Tabulating Committee will accept electronic signatures on nomination forms for the vacant Component Trustee position. An electronic signature must be the member’s actual signature and not simply the member’s name typed onto the nomination form. This will allow for members not actively in the workplace to nominate a candidate for a delegate position. Please do not hesitate to contact the tabulating committee for more details.
The nomination form must be filled out in its entirety by the candidate, signed off and dated prior to scanning for electronically received signatures. We are doing this to ensure all members have an opportunity to run, as well as ensure all members have an opportunity to collect signatures. With the COVID pandemic in place, many of you are not able to access your work sites or Union offices due to not having a RAIC.
DEADLINE: Completed, original nomination sheets, along with a short (one paragraph) cover letter from the candidate accepting his/her nomination, must be received by the Tabulating chair no later than 5:00PM (EST) December 14, 2022 at the following address:
AIR TRANSAT COMPONENT TABULATING COMMITTEE
P.O. Box 34015
TORONTO RPO ROSEDALE,
ONTARIO
M4S 0C4
Nomination sheets received after 5:00PM (EST) December 14, 2022 will NOT be accepted. The Tabulating Committee recommends sending your documentation by registered mail or courier to ensure timely delivery and receipt.
In Solidarity,
Maria Zongos, for your Component Tabulating Committee
