Interlake-Eastern RHA HCSS members - Ballots will be mailed October 26th...Be sure to cast your ballot before November 9th!

A vote planning meeting held in August for the newly formed Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (formerly the Interlake and North Eastman RHAs) resulted in a unilateral decision by the Manitoba Labour Board to conduct a mail-in ballot vote.

Because of this decision by the Manitoba Labour Board, it is imperative that everyone who is eligible to vote makes sure their home address is up-to-date with their employer. If you’re unsure that the Manitoba Labour has been given your correct mailing address, please contact your employer immediately.

The ballots for the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority vote for Health Care Support Service members will be mailed out by the Manitoba Labour Board on October 26th, 2012. All completed ballots have to be received back at the Manitoba Labour Board offices in Winnipeg no later than November 16th. Any ballots received after that date will not be counted.

Although in the past the unions involved have been provided personal addresses of affected members, the Manitoba Labour Board has decided not to release the addresses for this vote, making it difficult to inform members of the benefits of each union and requiring additional time to hold meetings at each work-site, which increases the length of the votes.
