Restructure
About the Restructure Process
MAPE has stood strong for over 40 years and, as we reflect on our legacy, we see that updating how we operate and interact is essential. Our past achievements and values drive us to actively embrace change, ensuring we stay relevant and effective for the future.
The Restructure Team was put together with an eye toward a more flexible and innovative future. We aim to ensure MAPE is a union ready for our members' changing needs and the new ways we work.
The team is doing the work in phases. In the first phase, we engaged as many members across the union as we could. We are now entering the second phase where we are analyzing the ideas.
