BVTU Meetings
BVTU meetings happen monthly for the executive committee. All EC meetings are via Zoom, from 530 to 630.
Two general meetings, which are open to the broader membership, are held - one in the fall, and one in midwinter.
The annual general meeting is held in person, this year in April.
At the EC meetings, the local president shares what is happening with the broader union, grievances, bargaining, specific issues relevant to the membership, and the staff reps report back to the LP what is going on at the school level. Solutions-oriented problem solving is encouraged.
At the general meetings the membership can approve the budget and find out specifics how the union is supporting members and what could possibly happen at the school level to effect change.
At the annual general meeting, the new executive committee is elected and the year-end budget is approved as well as any other business requiring voting by the broader membership.
