CLAC is seeking a Provincial Representative in our Mississauga Member Centre. This position will involve a health care sector workload. This is a full-time, permanent position.

- Advocating for members with complaints via the collective dispute resolution processes and via government agencies, including responsibility over grievance and arbitration processes.
- Responsibility for all facets of collective agreement negotiations and arrangements for them. This includes interfacing with the workforce at union membership meetings to collect contract proposals, formulating a proposal, appointing a bargaining committee, conducting negotiations, bringing a contract for ratification, and preparing all attendant paperwork and documents including those required for Labour Relations Board (LRB) purposes.
- Training key members in labour relations practices and in union policies.
