Today was packed full. Started our day at 8:30

In the morning we went to a 3 hour workshop on Attendance Management.

This is a growing area of concern for many workplaces.

This is a subject that we have been talking to our employer about.

It was good to hear that we are not the only ones with this problem. We are also heading down the right path with the work on Attendance Management.

Over lunch we talked with the members from Windsor and Rideau. We discussed similarities that we have around issues and bargaining.

We all come up to bargaining around the same time. It will be very important to be able to work together around language.

In the afternoon they had planned Bullying and Harassment. We talked with the facilatator an changed the topic.

It was only the Casino', AGCO and 1member from another workplace.

We talked more on attendance management.

Then we moved into workplace issues and how to handle issues for members. We also where able to talk about the importance of grievances.

We had dinner with the members from the slots and have come up with a few ideas on how to support each other in the coming months.

We need to be progressive. I won't post the ideas, as we don't want to tip our hat to the employer.

Stay tuned for Sunday updates. It will be early to bed tonight and up early to meet with the other casino's to talk about bargaining language.
