Hospital Professionals Division Province Wide Demand Set Meeting

This is to advise you that a Province-wide Demand Set meeting has been scheduled as follows.  All bargaining units in the Division are invited and are encouraged to attend even if they are not participating in the central bargaining process: 

DATE:  February 16 & 17, 2006

HOTEL:  Delta Chelsea Inn 33 Gerrard St. W. Toronto Tel: (416) 595-1975                                   

MEETING ROOM:   Mountbatten Room

TIME:  9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

REGISTRATION:    February 16 - 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., February 17 – 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

In addition, I am writing to ask you to schedule a demand set meeting(s) for your bargaining unit (s) in late December or early January.  Your Staff Representative is required to attend your bargaining unit demand set meeting, so please consult with him/her before setting the date.

The purpose of the bargaining unit demand set meeting(s) is for the members to:

1. Vote on participating in central bargaining;

2. Review recommendations from the Pre-Bargaining Conference;

3. Discuss and formulate province-wide demands;

4.  Set local demands, if any, if the unit has opted into central bargaining.

5   Elect a local negotiating team (for local issues, or if not joining central bargaining, for the renewal of the contract);

6.  Elect delegates to the provincial demand set meeting.

You are requested to return the demands, opt-in form and registration forms to Agnela Pereira (via Fax: 416-448-7451) by January 23, 2006.  This will allow time to collate and prepare the demands for the Province-wide Demand Set Meeting.

Accommodation/Travel:

1.  Members will be responsible for making their own accommodation and payment arrangements with the Delta Chelsea Inn.  Enclosed is an Accommodation Form that must be returned to the hotel by January 16, 2006.

2. Rooms cannot be guaranteed after January 16, 2006.  (You will be responsible for any additional cost for reservations made after this date).

3. You are responsible for finding another member to share your hotel room with.  Be sure to indicate whom you will be sharing with on your hotel registration form and notify the hotel of any changes/cancellations immediately.  If you wish a room on your own, you or your Local (check first) will be responsible for one half of the cost.  If you are having difficulty finding a roommate, speak to your Local President.  He/she may be able to assist you in finding someone to share with.  If your roommate does not show up at the Meeting, you will be responsible for the full cost of the room.

4.  OPSEU will not pay for accommodation for members living within sixty (60) kilometers of the hotel.

5.  Members will be responsible for payment of their hotel room when they check out.  There are no charges billed back to OPSEU.  Delegates will be reimbursed for the cost of a twin shared room at the Delta Chelsea Inn only, as per OPSEU policy.

5.   Cancellations

If you will not be attending the meeting, notify Agnela Pereira, ext. 8233, at OPSEU Head Office as soon as possible.  You must cancel your own hotel reservations or you will be responsible for payment of the room.  Only cancel your portion of the room, if sharing.  If you know your roommate, be sure to let your roommate know you have cancelled.  Advance cheques issued are non-transferable and must be returned

IMPORTANT FACTS

OPSEU’ S Fragrance and Nut Free Policy

In accordance with the fragrance free policy for OPSEU, “Persons attending OPSEU meetings are requested to refrain from using perfume, cologne and other fragrances for the comfort of other participants”.

Nut Product Sensitivity/Allergy

Participants are asked to refrain from bringing nut products to meeting events.  These products include a range of items including peanuts, peanut butter, pecans, walnuts, chocolate bars and energy/nutrition bars, etc. 

During meeting activities it is impossible to assure that such products will not come into contact with others.

Those who may entertain delegates in hospitality suites, caucuses or other informal meetings are also asked to comply with this alert.

As with other allergens, exposure to nut products can produce dramatic and life threatening reactions in some people.
