However, it is our belief that it is the responsibility of all of our members to take an active interest in knowing and understanding the issues and knowing which candidates will best represent their views, opinions or beliefs.
Often, we do not take the time to learn about the candidates before we vote for them, automatically assuming that their party affilitation places their beliefs in line with ours. This is where debates can often shed some light on a candidates platform so that we can make a more informed decision when it comes time to vote. Debates between candidates for national positions are major events and receive plenty of coverage, but the more local ones can be harder to find. Our major party candidates faced off this past week at the state fair. Interesting to watch and listen to them discuss their positions.

15 janvier 2018 - VANCOUVER - La décision de Shaw Communications de fermer son centre d'appels Freedom Mobile à Windsor, en Ontario, constitue une attaque injustifiée contre les employés, selon le Syndicat des Métallos.
La décision de Shaw de déplacer les activités de son centre d'appels à son installation de Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique, touchera plus de 130 employés dévoués et leurs familles à Windsor.
«Freedom et Shaw démontrent qu'ils n'apprécient pas à leur juste valeur leurs fidèles employés ni la collectivité de Windsor», a déclaré Lee Riggs, président national du Syndicat des travailleurs(euses) en télécommunications (STT), section locale nationale 1944 du Syndicat des Métallos.
Freedom et Shaw ont pris une position antagoniste contre les efforts de syndicalisation des employés à la fin de 2016 et au début de 2017. Après le vote en faveur de l'adhésion au syndicat en janvier 2017, Shaw et Freedom ont conservé leur position agressive lors des négociations, menaçant de déclencher un lock-out à l'encontre de tous les membres des unités de négociation en septembre 2017. Les employés ont voté, de justesse, pour la ratification d'une première convention collective le 20 septembre 2017.
Alors que les dirigeants de Shaw sont reconnus pour leurs programmes de rémunération des dirigeants des plus généreux, de nombreux employés du centre d'appels de Freedom à Windsor gagnent un salaire qui frôle le seuil de la pauvreté. Avec des revenus de 175 millions de dollars lors du dernier trimestre de 2017, Freedom Mobile dispose des ressources nécessaires pour bien rémunérer le travail soutenu de ses employés et leur contribution aux bénéfices de l'entreprise.
«Avec ce projet visant à fermer son centre d'appels, Freedom se bâtit une mauvaise réputation auprès des gens qui travaillent fort au Canada. Il choisit les bénéfices de l'entreprise au détriment du traitement équitable des employés», a souligné M. Riggs.
«Avec plus de 1,18 million d'abonnés en janvier 2018, Freedom Mobile contribue largement aux bénéfices de Shaw. Cette dernière rétribue généreusement ses actionnaires et ses dirigeants. Le fait de prendre ces mesures contre les employés de Windsor en ce moment est scandaleux», a affirmé Ken Neumann, directeur national pour le Canada du Syndicat des Métallos.
Collectivement, les cinq principaux hauts dirigeants de Shaw ont empoché près de 37 millions de dollars en 2016.
Le projet annoncé par la société prévoit que Freedom Mobile procédera à trois vagues de mises à pied au cours des prochaines semaines, soit le 17 janvier, le 21 février et, finalement, le 28 mars.
«Ces mises à pied accentueront le climat économique déjà difficile dans la région», a indiqué M. Neumann.
«Les employés de Freedom Mobile se sont joints au Syndicat des travailleurs(euses) en télécommunications, section locale...

L'unité du gouvernement du Canada EDSC (Emploi de Développement social Canada), responsable des programmes sociaux ainsi que du marché du travail au niveau fédéral, a informé le Comité national de santé et de sécurité du STT, Section locale nationale 1944 du Syndicat des Métallos que Telus a répondu à l'exigence minimale du code de « notification et de consultation significative » concernant le JARR.

Votre comité trouve regrettable que Telus se contente d'accepter et de respecter le niveau d'engagement le plus faible autorisé par le code, et que la compagnie ne se montre pas disposée à œuvrer pour la ratification d'un accord en collaboration avec le syndicat.
