Ready to Join Us?
Are you and your coworkers ready to join SGEU? Here's what to do:
Step 1. Fill out our confidential form
If you're not ready to call, complete our short, confidential organizing form and a member organizer will contact you.
Step 2. Sign an SGEU membership card
With guidance from an organizer, you and your coworkers will sign membership cards. Your employer will never see these cards. SGEU maintains strict confidentiality.
Once 45% of employees sign, we apply to the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board for a secret ballot vote.
Step 3. Vote for SGEU
The Labour Relations Board will conduct a secret ballot vote.
No one will know how you vote.
If a majority votes yes, SGEU is certified as your bargaining agent.
Step 4. Now you have a union
SGEU staff and elected workplace representatives negotiate your collective agreement, covering wages, benefits, job security, and working conditions.
You and your coworkers will vote to accept the agreement.
