    An important message from our President:

    We have received a number of questions regarding the annual Steelworkers Pension Trust Accrual letter. The accrual letters are late this year due to a change in letter format. The new formatted letters will be more detailed and will provide you with the amount of your accrued pension dating back to the start of the SPT. The SPT is mailing approximately 5,000 letters per day until all 60,000 active member letters are sent out. Once this is completed they will begin sending terminated vested pension letters out. When you recieve your letter if you have questions regarding the calculated rates, please call the SPT directly at 1-800-848-1953.

    In Solidarity,
    Pete Trinidad Sr.
    USW Local 6787 President

    Le 30 août 2019 - Le lundi 2 septembre 2019 et tout au long du week-end, nous célébrons la fête du Travail. Souvenons-nous que nous devons nos droits de travailleurs au mouvement syndical canadien : milieux de travail plus sécurisés, congés de maternité et de paternité, soins médicaux, week-ends, congés payés, assurance-chômage, meilleures pensions publiques et ban récent sur l’amiante, parmi tant d’autres accomplissements. Prenez un moment pour imaginer quelles seraient vos conditions de travail s’il n’y avait pas eu de syndicat pour les défendre.

    Alors que la Section locale 1944 célèbre son 75e anniversaire, la fête du Travail est l’occasion de commémorer la lutte acharnée que notre Section locale a menée pour les droits des travailleurs. Depuis 1944, il n’y a pas eu de demi-mesure dans l’énergie consacrée à la défense de ce qui est juste : négocier des conventions collectives et avantages sociaux, promouvoir des salaires équitables, améliorer les conditions de travail, lutter contre la sous-traitance de vos emplois, assurer une plus grande équité pour tous, organiser des campagnes pour conserver les emplois au Canada, faire pression pour instaurer au pouvoir des leaders politiques qui défendent les droits des travailleurs… Malgré toutes ces réalisations, il est amer de constater que 75 ans plus tard, nous devons encore nous battre pour créer un monde où les travailleurs ne sont pas discriminés en raison de leur race, sexe, orientation sexuelle, ou handicap, et pour des milieux de travail sans harcèlement.

    147 ans après la première fête du Travail au Canada en 1872, nous reconnaissons et célébrons les victoires et progrès réalisés par le mouvement syndical à travers le pays pour améliorer les droits des travailleurs. Cependant, en ce jour, nous devons également nous engager à bâtir un avenir meilleur pour nos enfants. Les corporations attaquent quotidiennement les travailleurs et les droits dans le domaine du travail, aidées par des forces conservatrices qui cherchent à freiner le progrès social tout en aidant les riches à s’enrichir encore plus. Chacun d’entre nous doit se soulever contre ces attaques.

    Pour toutes ces raisons, les militants syndicaux sont encouragés à participer à un événement organisé à l’occasion de la fête du Travail. Profitez de cette opportunité pour rencontrer des collègues, consolider la solidarité au sein de votre communauté, et manifester dans la rue pour demander un avenir meilleur ! Trouvez la liste complète des événements sur le site Web du Congrès du travail du Canada.

    Veuillez envoyer vos photos de la fête du Travail à [email protected]...

    August 30, 2019 - On Monday, September 2, 2019, and throughout the weekend, we celebrate Labour Day. Let’s remember what Canadian labour rights we all owe to Union activism: safer workplaces, maternity and paternity leave, medical care, weekends, paid vacation, unemployment insurance, better public pensions, and a recent ban on asbestos, among so many other achievements. Take a moment to imagine how your working conditions would be if there had been no union to fight for them. 

    As Local 1944 celebrates its 75th anniversary, Labour Day is an occasion to commemorate our Local’s relentless fight for workers’ rights. There has been no shortage of energy spent on fighting for what’s right since 1944: negotiating collective agreements and benefits, promoting fair wages, improving working conditions, fighting against the contracting out of your jobs, winning greater equity for all, organizing campaigns to try to keep jobs in Canada, lobbying for political leaders who advance workers’ rights… Despite all these achievements, it is bitter to observe that 75 years later, we still have to fight for a world where workers are not discriminated against because of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, and for harassment-free workplaces. 

    147 years after the first Canadian Labour Day in 1872, we acknowledge and celebrate the progress and victories made by the labour movement throughout Canada to improve working people’s rights. However, on this day, we also need to commit to building a brighter future for our children, as corporations attack workers and labour rights daily, with the help of conservative forces that push to roll back social progress while making it easier for the rich to get richer. Every one of us needs to stand up against these attacks. 

    For all these reasons, labour activists are encouraged to join a Labour Day event. Seize the opportunity to meet with fellow union members, build solidarity within your community, and march to ask for a better future! Find the full list of events on the Canadian Labour Congress website.

    Please email your Labour Day photos to [email protected].

    In Solidarity,

    USW Local 1944

    The first Labor Day in our nation was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City

    President Grover Cleveland realized the strength of organized labor during and after the 1894 Pullman Strike and advanced legislation to make Labor Day a national holiday. This legislation was quickly pushed through Congress. The House unanimously agreed, and the President signed the bill into law, six days after the strike ended at Pullman. Today, all states recognize Labor Day as a national holiday

    In 1909, the American Federation of Labor left its footprint by declaring the Sunday before Labor Day as Labor Sunday, to emphasize the spiritual and educational aspect of labor to our nation and all working people

    Most people celebrate Labor Day as the last day of summer - a day of rest and relaxation, with family, picnics and parades

    However you ...
