To the Membership, The Bargaining Committee had a productive two days drafting the last of the proposals and are in the final stages of drafting our package to present at the table. The Bargaining Committee feels it is representative of the memberships’ feedback and wants to continue to encourage everyone’s engagement. The CAT team members will be involved over the next few weeks as we move into the early steps of our plan. Next week we will be meeting again to continue to work towards the objectives that you have set for us, with the goal of reaching the absolute best collective agreement that we can achieve at record high copper prices. (Today’s Copper : $4.49lb) We are also reminded as we build proposals, of the damage that was caused by management during the Bowser era. It’s affected moral, work ethic, the bottom line, mental health and everything we do at the mine. We have to Acknowledge the Past to Protect Our Future! The Committee has built a strong comradery based on shared values and working towards a common goal. We would like to thank the membership for their participation with the survey’s and well thought out ideas. These were key to creating a starting point for many of the proposals we have drafted. Thank you for the support you continue to show your Bargaining Committee. DID YOU KNOW ? In 2021, this is the current washroom facility that our shovel operators forced to rely on. An example, a shovels major maintenance can be completed in 20 days, but it took over 6 months to have ONE toilet permanently installed on a shovel. These unreasonable delays were due to the Company’s decision to install them “on an opportunistic basis”. |
