We’ve included a sample copy of a resolution from last year’s convention that we hope will assist you.
SAMPLE RESOLUTION
Cupe Ontario will:
Fight the creation of new LHIN-wide health care employers such as regional laboratory corporations or regional supply chain corporations that take work and jobs from local hospitals and homes.
Because:
- Health care services and jobs will be removed from local communities. These unionized jobs are often irreplaceable in local communities.
- Control by local communities is weakened.
- Privatization of health care services will result (as for-profit corporations often cannot make the profits they desire when their services are limited to local operations, but see much more potential for profit in large, region-wide contracts).
To ensure that all our members are well informed and able to fully participate at convention, copies of CUPE’s Parliamentary Procedure manual are available from our office. For a copy, please either email [email protected], or call Eileen at 416-299-9739 Ext. 311. Copies will also be available at convention.
