I urge you to read these documents carefully and come to the Meeting(s) well informed and ask questions if you are unsure. Please do not use social media forums such as the ones on WhatsApp or Telegram but rather ask your District or Local leadership directly.

Today we observed the National Day of Mourning honouring those who have suffered a work related disability, disease or death. We remember not just those who were victims but their family and co-workers. We, as a Union must ensure every one of us can return safely at the end of the day.
We can not wait for a tragedy to occur but must be vigilant in what we do – day in and day out – without becoming complacent.
This year it seems to hit closer to home with the tragic incident in New York a few weeks ago.
I ask that each of you remind yourselves of the Company’s mantra of “Safety First – Always” and report anything of concern and refuse unsafe work.
In solidarity,
Eric
