The WTU Leave Bank Task Force, open to all Members will meet to examine the current WTU Sick and Maternity/Paternity Leave Bank Policies. The Task Force will be ultimately responsible for creating a report for the WTU Executive Board's approval on options for how to improve information getting to members on how to best use the Banks, potential policy changes that would improve members' access to the banks, and how to get more members to sign up for the Banks, as well as any other questions regarding the WTU Sick and Maternity/Leave Bank that the Task Force deems necessary. This first meeting will be introductory to learn about what we know so far about the Leave banks, and to set the intentions for how we want to task force to move forward.
