I will be temporarily stepping away from my role as BUP as I have been seconded to work on the Nurses Vote Campaign with ONA. Patric has graciously agreed to step up to cover for me while I am away. Please continue to send your questions and concerns to Local55BUPStMarys@ona.org. Patric will be monitoring things as of February 18th. I am expected to be away until the end of April, but may be back sooner, or gone longer, depending on how things go. I know Patric will do a great job. I do ask that you remain patient as he is not only covering for me, but will continue to hold the VP and Grievance Chair portfolios - he also has 2 extremely cute small kiddos at home. I am hoping he is able to maintain some work-life balance while also providing you with the support you need.
If anyone is interested in temporarily joining the Joint Occ. Health & Safety committee to attend as an ONA delegate for March, and possibly April - please e-mail me. The commitment is approx. 3 hours, 1 time a month and you are paid for your time.
