Election Results - Bargaining Committee 2026

Bargaining Committee Composition

The Bargaining Committee for Local 531 will consist of the following members which are in compliance with our Local Union Bylaws as well as the language outlined in our current CBA in Union Release Time. 

Each of these representatives will hold voice and vote at the bargaining table:

  • President
  • The Unit Chairs from each base (YVR, YYZ, YYC)
  • 1 elected representative from each base (YVR, YYZ, YYC)

    *The committee will also require one (1) elected alternate member from each base based on the second highest number of votes received (exercising voice and vote ONLY in the absence of a primary representative from their base.)

Election Rules
  • Nominations and elections for these base representatives were conducted through the Simply Voting platform.
  • The candidate receiving the highest number of votes in each base has become the primary representative for that base. 
  • The candidate receiving the second-highest number of votes will serve as the alternate.
  • Each base conducted its own separate nomination campaign and vote for its representative.
