    BRIGGS & STRATTON COVID VACCINATION POLICY

    ** Updated on 3/31/21 **

    UPDATE:         The company will pay up to 4 hours of missed time from work if you appointment for the Covid vaccine is during work hours. In order to receive the paid hours you must contact Teri Zielski with proof of the vaccine and appointment 

     

                There is a chance you may experience mild side effects after taking the COVID-19 vaccine. This is a normal part of the process and simply means the vaccine is working. Some of the symptoms include:

     Pain, redness or swelling near the shot was given

     Fatigue

     Joint pain

     Chills

     Headache

     Fever

    It is recommended that you contact your doctor if you have symptoms that worsen or persist after a couple days.

     

    You do not have to stay home after the vaccine, however, the company will provide up to 2 unpaid days off with no points if they experience symptoms after being vaccinated and need to stay home to recover.

     

    To utilize this unpaid time off post-vaccination, they should contact HR, and:

    • The employee must show proof of vaccination

    • Symptoms must start within 24 hours of vaccination

    • Applies to both vaccinations

     

    Please contact a Union representative or Human Resources for questions or more information.

    Le 25 mars 2021 - C’est grâce au travail infatigable, aux compétences et aux habiletés des travailleuses et travailleurs des télécommunications que les entreprises canadiennes du secteur des télécoms, comme Telus, Shaw, Rogers, Bell et d’autres, sont si rentables. Néanmoins, avec les changements de réglementation et de technologie, les entreprises rentables essaient toujours de couper dans leurs dépenses sur le dos de leurs employés assidus.

    La Section locale 1944 veut s’assurer que nous, les travailleuses et travailleurs du secteur des télécommunications à travers le pays, travaillions dans un environnement sain et sécuritaire, avec de bons salaires et avantages pour le travail que nous accomplissons. Nous voulons également nous assurer que l’industrie canadienne des télécommunications dans son ensemble soit syndiquée, afin que nous ne soyons plus en compétition les uns avec les autres, avec les entreprises qui se tournent vers les compagnies qui paient leurs employés au salaire le plus bas, dans un perpétuel nivellement vers le bas.

    Travaillez-vous avec des contractants qui font votre travail ou un travail similaire ? Connaissez-vous un ami ou un parent qui travaille dans le secteur des télécommunications ? Nous pouvons syndiquer leur milieu de travail. S’ils ne sont pas syndiqués, pourquoi ne pas les contacter et leur parler des avantages de travailler dans un environnement syndiqué. Dites-leur de nous envoyer leur nom et coordonnées à https://1944.fyi/rejoignez-nous ou par courriel à [email protected]. Nous les contacterons.

    Chaque soumission sera 100 % confidentielle

    Voici quelques-uns des nombreux avantages qu’offre un syndicat :

    Ce code QR renvoie au formulaire de soumission. Gardez-le à portée de main sur votre appareil mobile personnel afin que les travailleuses et travailleurs non syndiqués puissent le scanner facilement et envoyer leurs informations à la Section locale.

    Solidarité,

    Section locale 1944 du Syndicat des Métallos

    March 25, 2021 - It is the hard work and skill of telecom workers that make Canada’s telecom companies like Telus, Shaw, Rogers, Bell and others so profitable. Nevertheless, with shifting regulations and technology changes, profitable companies are always trying to cut costs on the backs of hard-working employees.

    Local 1944 wants to ensure that us workers in the telecom sector across the country can work in a healthy and safe environment, and receive good wages and benefits for the work that we do. We also want to ensure that Canada’s telecom industry as a whole is unionized so that we are no longer pitted against each other, with business going to the lowest paying companies, in a race to the bottom.

    Do you work alongside contractors who are doing your work or similar work? Do you know a friend or have a relative who works in the telecom industry? We can organize their workplace. If they are not unionized, why not reach out and talk to them about the benefits of working in a unionized environment. Have them submit their name and contact information at https://1944.fyi/join-us or email [email protected]. Someone will contact them.

    Every submission is kept 100% confidential

    Here are some of the many benefits of a union:
