Have you been told you’re a great listener, and a supportive and helpful colleague? Are you interested in advancing allied health’s objectives or advocating on behalf of your peers working in Manitoba’s public health-care system? Consider volunteering with MAHCP as a Member Advocate.
A Member Advocate (MA) is a union activist who represents our union within the workplace and upholds the Mission, Values and Statements. The Advocate’s purpose is to advance and protect the rights of our diverse membership.
MAHCP is a direct-service model union which means that any member can connect directly with their Labour Relations Officer with employment-related questions or concerns. However, our LRO team relies on Member Advocates to ensure MAHCP is represented onsite. Member Advocates are our feet on the street, and our eyes and ears at member worksites.
In accordance with the MAHCP Constitution:
- Member advocates shall be elected for a two-year term commencing at the close of the Annual General Meeting at which they are elected.
- Member Advocates may be appointed by the Executive Council at the request of members who present a completed Nomination Form. The temporary appointment is terminated at the next AGM.
