Lately we have been having quite a few grievances filed from members who have been disciplined for safety infractions mostly to do with "The Pillars of Safety". I ask again, please follow the procedures and do not take a short cut. If there is no procedure, if you don't have the right PPE to do the job, or it just doesn't feel like you are going to succeed at your task take the "Take 5". Stop and ask questions or get the necessary resources you need to do the job safely and by the SJP.

Stelco has decided not to issue paper pay stubs anymore. They say that you can access them through the Workday App. We feel they are breaking the Employment Standards Act Section 12.3. A policy grievance will be filed today. I would ask your Human Resources Business Partner in your area to print one off for you.

Your SLC has a PSP meeting on Monday morning. We will release the results when we get them.

It is that time of year again that the vacation rules are being talked about. Moving forward, I believe we should get stronger language in our CBA to make the process a little more consistent. 

Rumour of the week......

“I heard they are hiring to the HSM, does that mean the workers that were displaced stay where they are?"

No, before anyone is hired to the HSM they must bring back all the HSM people that were displaced.

Contract/ESA questions of the week...

Item 35 Letter of Agreement re: Food Services

Unfortunately, is seems that Fatback will be unable to set up a facility in the plant. The committee is currently looking for another alternative.

Thanks,
