Bio for Gail Chafe, CULE II Bargaining Team Nominee
It has been a few years, but I was on two sets of successful negotiations for CULE II in the past and we were able to achieve significant improvements during those rounds of negotiations. I know the process at negotiations, and have some background regarding previous demands which were not achieved, as well as those that were.
While at our recent National Administrative Conference in Ottawa, I spoke with several Unit II members who were very concerned with improvements to our Retiree Benefits Plan, as well as other Unit II issues. At that same Conference, many of the proposals that Sister Saunders and I worked on were displayed for your perusal and were sanctioned by a great many of you. As I helped craft the wording of these proposals/demands I am familiar with their content, their history, and their rationale, and therefore would be a great asset to the team in presenting them to the Employer.
For those of you who know me, I am a meticulous note taker, I am open to suggestions and discussion, I am committed to contract improvements, I share information and updates if I am able, and I can work harmoniously with just about everyone.
For all of these reasons, I am asking for your support during the elections for a Unit II member to sit on the CULE Negotiating Team.
