NSGEU Management

Servicing Coordinators

NSGEU Labour Relations Officers (LROs))

Under the leadership of the Executive Director, the Director of Negotiations and Servicing, and Servicing Coordinators, NSGEU LROs provide direct assistance and support to each of the union’s locals.

LROs serve as locals’ chief negotiators during bargaining. They help enforce the provisions of local’s collective agreements through consultation, negotiation, mediation and, when those tactics fail, formal grievance. During grievance proceedings, LROs help members through the arbitration/adjudication procedures, sometimes with the assistance of expert legal advice.

Each LRO is assigned to one or more locals. These assignments change from time to time.
