Do I have to renew my membership each year?
Memberships are automatically renewed each year.
How often are meetings held?
General meetings are held twice each year; once in the Fall term, once in the Winter term. Board meetings are normally held once a month.
How do I ask for ergonomic office furniture and equipment?
The Collective Agreement specifies that a $40,000 budget be made available each year for the purchase of ergonomic office furniture and equipment, including, but not limited to, chairs, desks, computer tables, lighting, foot rest, and such computer equipment as the keyboard, mouse, screen-glare guard, and wrist support bar, all of a high standard. (Article 3.20, Working Environment).
Members requiring ergonomic equipment should email [email protected] for further information. The first step is to have an assessment, which takes about 15 minutes, to discuss individual needs and various options. Following the assessment, recommendations will be sent to the Workspace Committee for approval.
