How does the local union select representatives to the JHSC?

The Occupational Health & Safety Act doesn't state specifically how the union is to select representatives to the JHSC. It simply says that if there is a trade union, the union shall select the representatives (OHSA s.9(8)). OPSEUs own health and safety policies advise that OPSEU representatives on JHSCs are to be appointed by the Local Executive Committee (LEC).

Some Locals run elections to the JHSC; however, if members are elected rather than appointed by the LEC, there is a danger that the OPSEU JHSC representatives will not be union activists and will not understand that they are accountable to the LEC. For further information, please contact the Health & Safety Unit at OPSEU Head Office. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
