The Nunavut Employees Union’s convention is scheduled for Nov. 16–19 at the Aqsarniit Hotel and Conference Centre in Iqaluit. The union says elected delegates will debate and adopt resolutions and budgets that guide the union until its next convention. The convention will also elect a president and first through fourth vice-presidents. The president is a full-time Iqaluit-based position. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

The union represents Government of Nunavut employees as well as workers at Qulliq Energy Corporation, hamlets and housing associations. Its next executive and convention decisions could shape the union’s labour-relations priorities, including its approach to future bargaining and workplace issues. No new Government of Nunavut collective agreement or bargaining decision is announced in this notice.

The deadlines for locals to submit delegate names and convention resolutions were Sept. 16, and credential forms were due Sept. 30. The union’s schedule says nominations for executive positions must be received by 6 a.m. Eastern time on Nov. 16, although nominations may also be made from the convention floor. The convention ends Nov. 19. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

The NEU says it covers delegates’ travel, per diems and lost salary. Members in good standing could be elected as delegates by their local; observers may attend at their own or their local’s expense. The union has not publicly posted a convention agenda, submitted resolutions, candidate list or election results.
