President's Message - March 6, 2020

Members and Retirees of Local 5328

I have notified the company of the kiosk being down and not be able to view or print your pay statement.  It’s labour Law that the company have it in your possession on the day your paid or online access. It is up and running now. 

 Those with less than 5 years service with 2 weeks vacation or less, will be picking next week by seniority. Sorry it took so long but the company changed their minds on the picks and was going to force all to work both weeks. Adam has now agreed to change back to allowing picks. One week is booked at Christmas and the remainder will be picked during shutdown in July. If you don’t have any vacation, you may be required to work both weeks. 8 hour employees will pick one week and 12 hour employees will pick on their crews. 

 Looks like T4’s were received the last few days and still coming in. 

Reminder, United Way will be in again on Monday at shift changes. Many mentioned the CEO of United way was scamming etc, that was a US situation, not Canadian. 

 Our next Union Membership meeting is Thursday March 12 at 5:00pm. 

 Have a great and safe weekend! 

Anthony Ciaramella
