MPP Brady went back to Toronto last week and questioned Premier Ford and his cabinet on the tariffs and MZO. The link can be found on our website.

Last week Terry McKinnon and I met with 1005, Marty Warren (USW National Director), and the Federal Governments Sustainable Jobs Partnership Council. We discussed the importance of the Canadian steel market and stopping the dumping of cheap, non-environmental foreign steel in Canada. 

PSP meeting is currently scheduled for November 13th. We have a call in hopefully to move it ahead seeing as Cleveland Cliffs has already sent out their Q3 earnings report.

Stelco is currently working on a "Note Program" policy explaining why you maybe on it, expectations when you're on it, and how to get off it. Hopefully, they will provide a little more clarity than the current way it is handled.

We have reached out to see if BDO can execute the Q1, Q2 and Q3 audit of Stelco's financials.

Rumour of the week......

“This weekend the clocks go back an hour. Does that mean I work an hour for free?"

When the clocks fall back, the night shift workers get paid 13 hours for that shift not 12.

Contract/ESA questions of the week...

With Stelco now hiring, we will be paying close attention to the Transfer List to make sure it is successfully executed. Unfortunately, this round of production new hires will not include anyone going to Plant Services. If you decline your transfer when asked, you will not be eligible for another transfer for 1 year.

Thanks,
