Time to apply for 2025-2027 NSFL Committees

November 6, 2025

Greetings:

Our committees are re-appointed every two years, after convention.  Membership on the Committees is comprised of members from local unions and labour councils who have an interest in the subject matter of the Committee.

Individuals must be nominated by their local union or labour councils, who are responsible for covering lost wages for committee members when they attend committee meetings and functions. As per the resolution passed at our recent convention, we will have 6 members per committee.

The Federation is committed to pay the cost of mileage, per diem and if required, accommodations at a unionized facility (where available), for approved meetings of the Committee. If nominees are full-time union staff, their union will pay all expenses.

Current Committee members who wish to serve again must be re-nominated.  Committees:

-Anti-Racism/Human Rights Committee

-Committee on Political Action

-Education Committee

-International Solidarity Committee

-Occupational Health and Safety/Workers’ Compensation Committee

-Women’s Committee

-Young Workers’ Committee (35 years old and younger)

All letters of nomination are to be submitted from affiliated organizations and not the individual person. Please note that all nominations must include the complete contact information of the submitting Local/Labour Council and nominee (s). DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS DECEMBER 31, 2025. Please send nominations to: joan@nslabour.ca
