UPDATE RE: BARGAINING PROPSOAL MEETINGS AND MGEU RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC

(as of March 16, 2020)

The MGEU is committed to serving its members through the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, while following the guidance of public health officials. That is why the MGEU is taking precautionary steps and making some adjustments to how we serve members until the COVID-19 threat recedes.

As of March 16, all bargaining proposal meetings are postponed until further notice.

Risk mitigation measures will be worked out with employers for any future bargaining meetings. Our preferred approach will be to conduct bargaining meetings by teleconference or videoconferencing. If a bargaining meeting must proceed in person MGEU will insist on strict risk mitigation measures (see below).

Risk mitigation measures for any meetings that proceed will include:

Assessing if the meeting can be delayed before it is scheduled;
Assessing if the meeting can be conducted by phone or video conferencing;
Notifying all participants that they should not attend if they have any symptoms (coughing, sneezing, fever, runny nose, shortness of breath) or meet the other public health criteria for self-isolation (those who have returned from international travel within the past 14 days or those who have been in close contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19);
Reminding all participants to practice proper cough etiquette and hand hygiene, and having alcohol-based hand sanitizer available;
Booking larger meeting rooms set up to allow for social distancing techniques.

If you have any questions about how these changes to MGEU meetings and events may affect you, please contact the MGEU Resource Centre.
