Important notes on using Zoom for this Delegates’ Meeting:

• Please download the meeting handouts for reference during the meeting.

• We recommend using a device with a self-facing camera and a screen, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Delegates will be prompted to participate in votes which are only possible if you are logged in through Zoom and using a screen.
• Screen users: please ensure you sign in with your full name and your union and local. You can change the appearance of your name once you are in the meeting if not prompted to do so when signing in.
• Choose the “speaker view” instead of the gallery view to get the most out of the meeting.
• If you are unable to log in online, you may call into the meeting from a standard phone line. Please note that you will not be able to participate in votes if you call in.
• If you decide to join by phone, please join the meeting by 7:25 so we can sign you in verbally before the meeting starts.
• Labour Council staff will be controlling the audio of all participants during the meeting, just as if we were speaking at the microphone. However, it is advised that you put yourself on mute when joining the meeting.
• Use of video is encouraged, especially for participants who would like to speak on agenda items.
• You may indicate your desire to speak to an agenda item by opening the “Participants” panel on your Zoom screen and “raising your hand” by clicking the button. Phone users may raise their hand by pressing *9 on your dial pad. Labour Council staff will monitor requests to speak.
• A Youtube livestream will be made available for anyone who prefers to watch only, or if you are having technical difficulties setting up Zoom. At the start of the meeting we will share the Youtube link via our Facebook and Twitter channels. Please note that the livestream runs about 20 seconds behind real time.

We look forward to getting together to share in the power and comfort of worker solidarity – which is needed now, as much as ever.

In solidarity,
