This is a reminder that we have our first General Membership Meeting

TOMORROW at 9:30 a.m.!

Our GMMs are both in-person at the union office and online via ZOOM.

Tomorrow morning around 8:30 a.m., an email will be sent out with the ZOOM link and the meeting package.

For those attending in-person, there will be paper copies of the package.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

On Thursday, July 11th, a few of your Local Executive members went out to support LCBO workers, who are currently on strike.

As a reminder, there is a rally taking place tomorrow, Thursday July 18th, from 11 am – 4 pm, at the LCBO on Wellington & Bradley, in London.

If you’re able to, please try to get out there and show your support.

As we draw closer to the end of this day, we want to take this time to say THANK YOU for all of your hard work, dedication, flexibility and patience!

We know the past few years have been really hard and this year was extremely difficult on so many levels for each and every single one of us. So with that, we would like to wish our 10-month members a happy Summer and we hope that our 12-month members are able to take some vacation to relax and unwind.

Your Executive members are still working and available for you if the need arises. However, while many of us Executive are 12-months, there are still a few that are 10-months, so please be mindful of that if and when you are trying to reach us.

Hope to see you all on Saturday!

Sunday, April 28th is National Day of Mourning

Every single day, workers are injured due to workplace hazards.

On April 28th, we recognize and remember all of the workers who have been killed, injured, or made ill by hazardous work.
We encourage all members to reflect on this day and take a moment to think of those who have been affected by workplace injuries.

We should always be thinking of ways on how to be safe and healthy on the job, as we all deserve a safe and healthy work environment. If you notice something isn’t right, report it.
Even if you’re unsure, it’s always best to bring it to the attention of your on-site Health and Safety Comittee, at your location.

If you’re unsure of who those individuals are, check your Health and Safety board at your location for the list of the committee members. If your location does not have a Health and Safety board, please speak to your supervisor/principal, as there should be a board in every location.

Please see the links below for information regarding Day of Mourning events that will be taking place this weekend:
