Thank you for taking the time to visit your USW local 8782 website. 

 

On Saturday Aug 17th the Next Gen Committee hosted an 8782 BBQ. More than 300 members and families showed up for some food and fun. Thanks to the Committee, members and volunteers for all their effort to make this a successful event.

 

On Monday Aug 26th the Backpack Committee met to stuff more than 500 backpacks destined to the Salvation Army to be distributed throughout the community. Thanks to the members and their families who volunteered to make this happen. A special thanks to THE SHOE FACTORY in Simcoe for donating gift cards for those kids in need of back to school shoes.

 

Cleveland Cliffs have reached out through the District that they would like to meet with our committees about the way our grievances are being handled and Health and Safety issues we are having. We have scheduled them on October 22nd and October 23rd.

 

Paul McCrea and I will be in the HSM, HSF and Conditioning tomorrow for a safety tour.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone when I am out in the mills this week. 

 

John McElroy

President USW Local 8782
