54th AFL Constitutional Convention in Edmonton
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Here is my report on the Convention, the election, and Chris Smalls. For Reference, Cori Longo ran without a rival, and Gil McGown beat Gregg Mady 60/40 split. I also speak about Chris Smalls and I included an echo track of his talk. Chris spoke to us about Amazon and the Labour Union he helped co-found. Whatever you think of him, it was important, and I think worth publicizing. I tried to increase the audio. Apologies but I do think it was worth playing. I sped up the entire episode (a tiny bit) if your wondering.

Diving into the Agreement - Vacation 7.03-08
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
We are talking about vacation. 7.03 - 7.08. Employees don't really take a look at this clause. I wanted to take a moment and dive into it. If there are any errors please correct me. I am always going to defer to the union leadership for their interpretation. Enjoy.

What is wrong with the ASP? A few of my observations.

This is an audio version of the youtube video on the same topic. The Attendance Suport Program is advertised as a great program that recently was able to reduce the amount of hours to get on the program from 50 a quarter to 36 hours. Why does this matter? It matters because innocent absenteeism is a fancy way of saying we can't get the stuff we want from the culpable system. This system will help us with other programs and hopefully get people to work. The problem is the system is always correcting. The better employees, the less time you can miss to be on the program. We are at a point in...

Ballots are in VOTE! 829 Goes under Admin... while bargaining...
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
We have an election. You have your ballots in the mail, and I encourage you to vote and mail it in. I and others running are counting on you! Feb 27 is the deadline for being at the box office. If you miss it, you can come to the hall to vote. Also what is going on with Local 829? Medicine Hat News says they are under administration just prior to voting on a deal... very interesting since getting a deal to vote on is not a reason to be put under adminstration.
