Week of May 25
We had a terrible accident last week. An Aecon millwright was working in the Roll Shop with assistance of an overhead crane. The worker's left index finger was crushed and amputated tightening an eyebolt with the crane hook attached and moving upwards. There is/will be a safety stand-down coming out. Please express your local safety concerns to your supervisors. If you need assistance, please reach out to your Health and Safety Rep or your Chief Health and Safety Rep.
Your main plant Grievance Committee has a third step meeting on Friday. There are currently 68 active grievances, (Policy -3, Coke Ovens -3, Blast Furnace -6, BOSC -39, HSM -6, Plant Services -4, CMC -1 and Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation -1).
The Pickle Lines are in the middle of a 10-day shut down on Line 6. Lots of work is being done to help with their line lock outs.
The CWS Committee is currently taking nominations for a vacancy. Anyone looking to apply or ask question please call me at 519-587-2000 ext. 2210 or text or call my cell 905-977-9415.
RUMOUR OF THE WEEK...
"Is Cleveland Cliffs cooking our books and burying our money in the U.S. bank?"
Our CBA states that we can have an independent audit done. We have asked for more clarity of the last quarter earnings and are waiting on a response.
Thanks,
