We are the United Steelworkers, North America’s largest industrial union. We’re 1.2 million members and retirees strong in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. We proudly represent men and women who work in nearly every industry there is.
As most of you may have already heard, the Union and the Company have come to an agreement to help retain and hire Maintenance Technicians at Uss/Posco, and this is something the Union and Company felt could not wait for the restart of negotiations. This agreement was made October 22, 2019, but the start of this process was during the 2015 contract negotiations. The Union and the Company recognized the increasing difficulty in retaining and hiring of MTM's and MTE's and therefore decided to come to an agreement to help stop the bleeding. How this agreement works is all incumbent MTM (labor grade 4) and MTE (labor grade 5) positions will be receiving an additional 48 point additive on top of their incentives. These adjustments will begin November 10th, 2019 so should show on the December 1st, 2019 check.
As for the rest of our membership who may feel left out, the Union is still working hard to make way on getting fair and reasonable wages for our membership at UPI. This issue of losing and not being able to replace MTM's and MTE's was a detrimental issue to our ability to maintain equipment and keep our process line running and equipment running safely, and so required immediate action
November 5, 2019 - “I was at the legislature late into the night on Wednesday, October 30, listening to debate of Bills 20 and 21 at second reading,” said Acting President Donna Hokiro. “UCP’s broken promises are going to hurt a lot, especially to those most vulnerable. We, regular workers, will be left to pay for the government’s giveaways to the rich. Our children will suffer, our seniors will suffer, working parents will suffer. Our brothers, sisters and friends who will be affected first are nurses, paramedics, social workers, teachers, those dedicated to the public good and those that they serve. Both the public and private sectors are in the same basket: when they come for one, they come for all. We cannot afford a race to the bottom. I’m standing up and I’m fighting back, I hope others will join me. We will not be silent! No justice no peace!”
Join other union members to send a strong message to the Legislature. Calgary City Hall – Wednesday, November 6, 2019, 12:00 to 1:00 pm RSVP at http://1944.fyi/AB-rally-2019Nov06
What is our message?
No to Health Care cuts! No to Education cuts! No to increased property taxes! No to increased income taxes! No to wage roll backs! No to attacks on workers’ collective bargaining rights! No to pro-scab legislation! No to paying for corporate tax giveaways on the backs of the working class!
What is happening and how does it impact working Albertans?
The UCP Government is attacking our unions, brothers and sisters in the public sector, and the services our members and their families rely on.
According to the newly released Alberta Federation of Labour’s report, the UCP fiscal plan is bad for Alberta’s economy. It “will kill as many as 114,000 jobs, split between the public and private sectors, and ‘put Alberta on a short path to economic recession’. […] The recommendations promote an ideology of a smaller and less effective government that only serves the interest of the wealthy elite. […] Kenney blew a huge hole in the budget with his ‘Job Creation’ corporate tax cuts, the $4.5 billion giveaway to profitable corporations that has failed to create jobs, and he is now forcing Albertans to take drastic and unnecessary cuts to public services so that large profitable corporations can pay less in taxes. […] The impact of this budget on public services in Alberta will be catastrophic. The economic impact of these cuts will be equally dramatic.”
“The UCP ran on promises of jobs and economic growth: but with...
