December 19, 2019 - BC Telus employees (excluding COS) should remember that if your rotation has you working more than two Sundays in a calendar month, you are entitled to a premium for that shift:
Collective Agreement Article A5.10(b): “When a Regular full-time employee is assigned to work three (3) or more Sunday shifts in a calendar month, the employee will be paid a premium of one (1) times the employee’s basic hourly rate of pay for the third and any subsequent Sunday shift worked during that calendar month.”
If you have any questions or concerns about this or any workplace issue, please reach out to a Shop Steward!

admin created 2019 Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive Another Success

(Article from the...

(Article from the Sudbury Star)

Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive brings in another 100 tons
he Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive and Kids Helping Kids campaign wrapped up another successful year Wednesday, with the support of the Rainbow District School Board and more than 250 local businesses.
“We are so grateful for each and every donation to the Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive and Kids Helping Kids. The food and money collected through this campaign will once again provide one-quarter of the needs of the Sudbury Food Bank for the entire year,” Mellaney Dahl, president of the Sudbury Food Bank, said in a release.
The Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive is expected to collect more than 100 tons of food again this year. The annual campaign has collected more than 1,000 tons of food since it first began.
“It’s rare that a single individual can start a tradition like this in the workplace and in a community,” said Mike McCann, head of Mining and Milling for Vale’s North Atlantic Operations. “We’re proud to continue the tradition that Edgar started at our operations so many years ago.”
Edgar Burton, a Vale Divisional Shops employee for 36 years, started the annual food drive 32 years ago in his workplace when his daughters asked him if they could start collecting food for the less fortunate. Today, Vale donates the time of one full-time and one part-time United Steel Worker (USW) Local 6500 employee for about two months to organize the Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive.
“USW Local 6500 is proud to uphold Edgar Burton’s vision of one more can than last year,” said Nick Larochelle, president of USW Local 6500. “We would like to thank our members, Jeff LaLonde and Alain Jalbert from Vale’s Divisional Shops, and all the volunteers for their work on this year’s campaign.
“A big thank you also goes out to all the people that have taken the time to make a donation once again this year. Every year this is an uplifting event for many people and we look forward to participating in the annual Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive for another 30 years.”
The Sudbury Food Bank provides food to about 11,000 people every month through more than 40 member agencies and outreach programs. Of those clients, over half are children.
Before his passing in 2010, Edgar Burton launched the Kids Helping Kids campaign, which engages school children in the food drive and teaches them about the importance of giving back to their community.

Since 2015, the USW has partnered with the Jefferson Awards Foundation, recently renamed Multiplying Good, to celebrate Steelworkers who do amazing works of community service, and to show the world that Steelworkers have big hearts. The USW is proud to have generous and compassionate members who foster a culture of giving back in our union. Don’t forget to nominate members who are active in their communities for the USW Jefferson Awards and encourage your brothers and sisters to do the same!
Local 6500 member Alex Patterson is the 2019 #USWCares Multiplying Good/Jefferson Awards for District 6. Here's his story:
Alex is on the Health Sciences North Foundation Board in Sudbury, Ontario. He dedicates much of his spare time and energy to the board, which funds a variety of projects for the hospital ranging from raising money for equipment to donating to other causes that help better serve hospital patients. Most recently, the board has been raising funds to purchase two badly needed MRI machines for the hospital.
