Although it’s rather unusual, a JHSC member removal provision is allowed and makes sense. I might actually do an article on this subject. Meantime, here are a couple models, one simple the other more elaborate. Hope this helps. Glenn
MODEL 1
The Committee may request the removal and replacement of any Committee member who
continually fails to carry out their responsibilities. Such a request will be made to the appropriate
union or to the Vice-President (Finance and Administration).
MODEL 2
3.0 Removal of Members
3.1 In order for the JHSC to effectively monitor health and safety issues at Tyndale it is necessary that
the Committee be a well functioning team and that all members contribute as necessary. In order to
maintain a well functioning team, the Committee will undergo a yearly “self-study” (in September).
The following process will be used for the self-study:
Non-Management Representatives:
1) Non-management members vote to keep the other non-management members on the
Committee through secret ballot.
2) Non-management Co-chair reviews ballots and makes recommendation(s) to Staff
Association.
3) Staff Association AGREES with the recommendation(s) and members remain on the
Committee or may be asked to leave the Committee or Staff Association DOES NOT AGREE
and provides alternate recommendations to the non-management Co-chair.
Management Representatives:
1) Management members vote to keep the other management members on the Committee
through secret ballot.
2) Management Co-chair reviews ballots and makes recommendation(s) to the SVP Finance &
Administration.
3) SVP Finance & Administration AGREES with the recommendation(s) and members remain on
the Committee or may be asked to leave the Committee or SVP Finance & Administration
DOES NOT AGREE and provides alternate recommendations to the management Co-chair.
