Le 12 avril 2021 - La Section locale 1944 du Syndicat des Métallos a le plaisir d’annoncer qu’elle tiendra son Assemblée des Délégués de la Section Locale (ADSL) 2021 en personne en décembre.

Dates : du mardi 7 décembre au jeudi 9 décembre 2021
Lieu : Hôtel Coast Coal Harbour, Vancouver, Colombie-Britannique

L’ADSL était initialement prévue du 16 au 18 mars 2021, mais les membres du Bureau exécutif ont décidé à l’unanimité de la reporter en raison des restrictions gouvernementales en cours sur les déplacements et les rassemblements. La Section locale espère que ce report permettra la tenue en personne d’une Assemblée des Délégués de la Section Locale 2021 sécuritaire et enthousiaste. 

Les délégués recevront leurs lettres de convocation et informations de voyagement à l’approche de la date.

Nous avons hâte de rencontrer en personne les délégués et invités d’honneur plus tard cette année. 

Solidarité,

Section locale 1944 du Syndicat des Métallos

April 12, 2021 - USW Local 1944 is pleased to announce that it will be holding its in-person 2021 Local Union Delegated Meeting (LUDM) in December.

Dates: from Tuesday, December 7, to Thursday, December 9, 2021
Location: Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, Vancouver, British Columbia

The LUDM had initially been scheduled for March 16 to 18, 2021, but members of the Executive Board unanimously decided to postpone it due to the ongoing government restrictions on travel and gatherings. In doing so, the Local Union aims at holding a safe and enthusiastic in-person 2021 Local Union Delegated Meeting.

Delegates will receive their call letters and travel information closer to the date. 

We are looking forward to meeting face-to-face with delegates and honoured guests later this year.

In Solidarity,

USW Local 1944

Members and Retirees of Local 5328

Good evening all. 

 Local 5328 wishes Andrew Chetwynd health and happiness in your new job!! Andrew has been our JHSC Co Chair for the last three years. We all knew he had very big shoes to fill as the position has been a strength with our Union. He did an amazing job filling those shoes and filled them perfectly!! He took the job very seriously  and had our best interest in mind. He  wore his heart on his sleeve! Thank you for the service you provided to our local and our members. 

 Welcome Rich Wood! Our new JHSC Cochair.   You too have big shoes to fill!! With the training and mentoring you received from Andrew, you will do just fine!! 

 I would like to officially welcome Jeff Walker to the Grievance and Negotiating team. Jeff brings 35 years of work experience and about 25 of those directly involved in local 5328. A great addition to our team!! 

 The negotiating team will be meeting in the coming weeks to prepare. Please note, the committee has each and every members best interests at heart!! There is no divide amongst our team! 

 We have seen a blitz in discipline and it’s not going to stop!! Please do not give them a reason!! I have relayed this over the last  few months. 

 Have all your PPE on including your face mask when working within 2 meters of another. Watch your breaks and lunch times! Use your micrometers!!! Check every coil you produce! Follow the control card for YOUR operation, not the next operation. If dies are an issue, contact your supervisor immediately! If he directs you to draw using the wrong die, get him to sign your control sheet. If he refuses to sign, call a union steward to witness! Follow all procedures! 

 The company has been given the green light to hire 4 for the oil temper. This is due to the exit a few brothers that decided to take another job. Thank you gentlemen! It’s been a pleasure to represent you. I wish you all good health and luck in your new job! 

 Have a great and safe weekend! 

In solidarity, 

Anthony Ciaramella 
President
