Sisters and Brothers:
Under the current collective agreement specifically Appendix
MM which deals with seniority issues, an agreement was made to
correct seniority issues due to the new rules adopted by the
membership at the last convention.
As a result, new seniority rules were negotiated between the
parties to resolve seniority issues. The steering committee
working on seniority has completed their mandate under Appendix
MM.
Any seniority dispute in the future must be grieved to be
resolved. Please contact your shop steward and file a grievance
as soon as you are aware there is a problem.
The Local apologizes and withdraws the previous bulletin
telling the members to contact the Region to address future
seniority issues. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you are
unclear, please contact your chief stewards.
