Brochure

Each year, the ONA Board of Directors selects a handful of workshops that highlight ONA work and the functioning of union business. The MEE Team schedules these workshops automatically in every ONA region in the province to ensure they are accessible for members.

In 2018, our Foundational Workshops are:

1. How to be a Great ONA Unit Representative (full-day)
2. Grievance Process (full-day)
3. Professional Responsibility Workload Reporting Process (full-day)
4. “Region’s Choice” – At the February 2018 Area Coordinators Conference, Local Coordinators choose any workshop (of any length) from the 2018 Education Brochure to be their 2018 Region’s Choice Workshop. Provincial Workshops are excluded/not available for selection, as are the 5 already established Foundational Workshops.
5. Election Process at the Local and Bargaining Unit Level (half day) *New for 2018*
