Old Business:
- The APOC National Convention will be
held during the week of June 21-25, 2010 in St John's Newfoundland. The
Convention takes place every 3 years and it is the only time that we can
put forward proposals to amend the constitution. The constitution is the
rules by which the association operates and spends our money. This is an
opportunity for the membership to determine how that money is spent. One
of the big issues currently is the amount of funds allocated for legal
services, grievances, arbitrations, etc. Six proposals will be sent to
the National APOC committee to be reviewed and then they will be voted
on by the Delegates at the National Convention. Each of the six proposal
were read. Proposal #1 Changing the time between National Convention
from every 3 years to every 4 years, Proposal #2 The dues rate
established at the National Convention would be the only rate that the
membership will be charged, Proposal # 3 The reimbursement of Air fares
while on Association business would be at the lowest fare and supported
by a receipt, except when travel is pre approved and on short notice,
Proposal #4 Under this proposal the small branches would receive a
higher % of reimbursement of dues that than larger branches, Proposal #5
That the Negotiating Committee membership would be increased by 2
members to ensure that all regions are represented. Proposal #6 That the
National Treasurer must be active in assisting the Branches by providing
training, advice and by conducting random audits of the Branches
- There are a lot of rumors going around
about the Corporation's review of APOC Positions. APOC and the
Corporation are involved in meetings at the National Level. More
information will be coming out of those meetings.
