Union regroupements
The congress groups unions together by sector (regroupements) using criteria that promote union solidarity. Each regroupement discusses its common problems, decides how to negotiate and how to apply collective agreements. Each regroupement operates autonomously in accordance with its own constitution and by-laws. It determines it own direction, makes its own decisions, and has its own budget. Each regroupement's operating rules are ratified by the federal bureau, which receives an updated activity report at each meeting. There are three regroupements at FNEEQ : regroupement cégep (CEGEP), regroupement université (universities), regroupement privé (private schools).
Regroupement cégep
The regroupement cégep is composed of 46 unions that negotiate together for one collective agreement during public sector negotiations. Taking its cue from members consulted during general assemblies, the regroupement cégep determines the direction negotiations will take, proposes and recommends action plans to assemblies and also recommends the adoption or rejection of negotiation results. It participates in the coordination of CSN public sector federations. The regroupement cégep meets about six times a year, and more often during negotiations. Vice-President Micheline Thibodeau is responsible for the regroupement cégep and holds the public-sector negotiation file. She is also responsible for the International Action committee and oversees the Carnet newsletter and the website.
