Please call a meeting for the OPS MCSCS Corrections members in your Local to elect
Delegates to the MCSCS Corrections Divisional as soon as possible. Your entitlement is
according to the convention formula (Article 13.4 Constitution), based on the number of
members in the local concerned and is as follows:
- The Chair of each Local Employee Relations Committee (LERC) is the automatic first Delegate to the divisional meeting. There should be one LERC, with its own chair in the local.
- If a LERC Chair’s position is vacant in your local, or if there is no LERC; the Local President from MCSCS Corrections is the automatic first Delegate. Where there is an absence of LERCs and Corrections Local President, the members of the Regional Employee Relations Committee’s (RERCs) become the automatic first Delegates.
- All other Delegates, Alternates and Observers must be elected as per policy.
The members of the current MCSCS Corrections Ministry Employee Relations Committee
(MERC) and Health and Safety subcommittee are automatic Delegates in their own
right. They may attend over and above their Local’s entitlement, as do Executive Board
Members who are from the division.
Please make every effort to ensure that members from your Local are represented at these
meetings.
