The biggest changes are probably going to be seen by RCMMA elected representatives:

• Learn and follow Society processes and policies. This will impact things like budgeting, titles of elected members, and familiarization of duties.
• RCMMA Executive will participate in an annual budgeting activity that all Society Locals participate in. The Local budgets are approved by the Society Board and managed by the Local Executive Committees.
• Training will be provided by Society staff for members of the bargaining team and elected representatives. 
• RCMMA will have access to professional resources and consistency year to year, including being assigned a Labour Relations Staff Representative located in Saskatchewan.
• RCMMA will gain two seats on the Society’s Board of Directors, joining our counterparts representing the City of Saskatoon. This will give RCMMA representation in the Society’s governance and decision-making processes.
• The RCMMA Executive can continue to use the same legal counsel as before. Affiliation with the Society does not require the Executive to change its existing legal counsel.

To most members, RCMMA will look very similar to how it looks now:

• Your collective agreement and benefits plan will remain the same.
• RCMMA leadership will continue to be the first line of support for members with issues and grievances.
• RCMMA will continue to hold regular member meetings and local leadership meetings.
• Members will continue to receive updates from the RCMMA Executive regarding bargaining and local news.
