If you have provided your direct deposit information AND a mobile phone number, you will be receiving a text message with a link to download the AllGEO app. 
(see example below)

The app will be used to sign picketers in and out of their picketing shifts, ensuring that members receive strike pay for their time on the line. Your location services MUST be turned on for the app.

Please sign in/register on the app using ONLY your mobile phone number. You must fill in ONLY your mobile phone number, leaving any other field blank.
(see example below)

If you have not submitted your direct deposit information AND a mobile phone number, the strike committee will be at Oakland and Darling on Friday, October 4 between the hours of 9:30AM-5:30PM to receive your information.

 

If your address or phone number has changed OR if you did NOT enter your mobile/cell phone number on your strike payment form, you can update your information here.

 

To prepare for strike, CUPE has a form letter that you will be able to send to financial institutions and creditors, notifying them of a strike and requesting adjusted payment conditions be arranged with you. Most financial institutions will help you put together a plan to deal with your situation in the event of a strike which may include allowing you to reduce payments, paying interest only charges, etc. 

We highly recommend contacting your financial institution/credit cards, etc., right away to discuss a plan. 

United Way has a guide to assist union members for What to do When the Paycheque Stops. See below.
