If RCMMA members choose to join the Society, they will become members of the Society of United Professionals, and the Society will become their legal bargaining agent. The choice of bargaining agent is an internal matter for RCMMA members and is yours to make alone. There will be no change to the composition of the RCMMA bargaining unit.
RCMMA can continue to operate with local autonomy while benefiting from the resources and support of a larger organization like the Society. You will elect your own workplace representatives and work alongside other elected Society representatives and professional staff to continue bargaining and oversee the administration of your current collective agreement.
To ensure dedicated local support, the Society has hired a Labour Relations Staff Officer based in Saskatchewan who will be assigned to service RCMMA. This will provide RCMMA members with access to dedicated labour relations expertise and support while ensuring local needs and priorities remain a focus.
RCMMA members will also gain access to a range of resources that strengthen both collective bargaining and advocacy. These include the Society’s financial resources, such as dedicated funds to support collective bargaining and member mobilization, as well as funding for donations, sponsorships, and community initiatives. These resources will help ensure that RCMMA members are well supported at the bargaining table and have greater capacity to contribute meaningfully to broader professional, social, and community causes.
