Le 1er mai 2020 - Votre syndicat dépose un grief suite aux récentesmises à pied effectuées par Shaw, car la manière dont ceux-ci ont été menés par la compagnie déroge de la convention collective sur plusieurs points.
Le Syndicat considère que les droits de rappel des membres ne sont pas limités à une année, comme l’a indiqué Shaw par courriel. La convention collective ne contient aucune mention restreignant la durée des droits de rappel une fois que les membres sont mis à pied. Ceux-ci peuvent conserver ces droits aussi longtemps qu’ils le désirent.
Le syndicat considère que la compagnie dénature intentionnellement la nature des mises à pied lorsqu’elle cite un « surplus de personnel » comme motif, selon les termes de l’article 10 de la convention collective. La méthode appropriée consisterait à utiliser les termes standards de mise à pied prévus sous l’article 6. La compagnie a choisi cette stratégie parce qu’elle espère que les termes de l’article 10 sur l’Automatisation lui permettra de conserver ses sous-traitants tout en faisant la mise à pied de membres de l’Unité 60 et en les privant de leur droit de rappel.
Ces actions font l’objet d’un dépôt de grief. Nous savons que le processus de règlement des griefs est lent, mais c’est l’outil juridique dont dispose le syndicat pour obliger la compagnie à respecter les termes de la convention collective tels qu’ils sont rédigés, et non tel que la compagnie le souhaite.

The horrible impact of the current pandemic is being felt across the country, with millions suffering furloughs and layoffs, and tens of thousands dying as a result of infection. Too many healthcare workers and others doing essential work are risking infection every day for lack of protective personal equipment and other important safety precautions. With so many working families enduring so much hardship, it’s challenging to even focus momentarily on one particular group, but with the major gaps in federal assistance for so many low wage workers, the USW is taking time this week to look at one part of the labor force being especially hard hit – immigrant workers, and in particular, undocumented immigrant workers.

Le Bureau exécutif national a tenu sa réunion trimestrielle plus tôt ce mois-ci. Malgré le besoin accru de services de télécommunications dans tout le pays, nos membres chez Shaw subissent des suppressions d’emplois. Ce numéro inclut également des nouvelles sur la campagne Rand au Québec, des nouvelles de certains comités de la Section locale 1944, des informations sur les bourses d’études 2020, et nos observations sur la façon dont le gouvernement du PCU en Alberta utilise la crise de la COVID-19 pour justifier des coupes budgétaires plus nombreuses dans le secteur public.
C’est le moment pour chacun d’entre nous de venir en aide à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin. Nous avons listé, par province, les organisations qui ont besoin de bénévoles pour livrer des courses d’épicerie aux personnes âgées.
