Jim Storin posted in Unionized Security officers Jim Storin 28 December 09:05 I have spoken with the CLC this morning. What I have been advised was their offices are closed until Tuesday. On Tuesday they will be sending out a letter to ALL affiliate Union's advising that we are free from NUPGE and are available. After all interested Unions submit, they will all be given an oppotunity to do a presentation for us and then we will vote. The CLC will be working with us and walking us through this time and have assured me that they will have this completed as quickly as possible.I have also advised them of our concern with the employer sticking their nose in, he further assured me they have NO say in this process. I will advise you of any further developments when I get them.... View Post on Facebook · Edit email settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.

Jack:

Meeting was not adjourned --held both and waiting for 5. Clearly members want to change unions+we will facilitate the process. Smokey will call our National union tonight+we will notify the CLC to move forward with the justification process.

Letter to Membership From OPSEU

To the members of OPSEU Local 278 (Casino Security Officers)
 
With the cooperation of your Local President, we have scheduled meetings for December 22. The meetings will be held at  9am, 1pm and 5pm. They will be at the Americana Hotel on Lundy's Lane in Niagara. President Thomas and myself will both be in attendance. We believe that a number of issues need to be cleared up for the membership since so many false rumours are being spread. Clearly you have been given inaccurate information and that is why meetings with other unions have had to be cancelled more than once.
 
OPSEU has never ignored your local and has always responded to requests coming from your executive. We have recently found out (when I attended a Labour Management meeting) that a number of your grievances that were filed had NOT been sent on to OPSEU. Management suggested that at a May meeting with your leadership, they found 60 grievances that had not been forwarded and they now have dozens more. It almost appeared as if there was sabotage to create problems between the membership and your union.
 
OPSEU cannot resolve problems that we do not know about nor can any other union. Standing on the sidelines attacking your union rather than standing up for the membership in representation is not any kind of leadership. We will determine by the attendance on December 22 how the membership feels. If members do not come out, we will assume they are happy with OPSEU and have no issues to raise.
 
Solidarity
 
Mike Grimaldi 
 
Trustee and Regional Vice President 
OPSEU Region 2

Short Up date.

Sorry for the really short notice, but monday Dec 12, there are two meeting scheduled. The first one is a meeting with our director, Trustee and myself. Not really sure what that one is for, but I suspect the will want to discuss our trustee ship.

The second meeting is an LMC meeting. This meeting will also involve our trustee. Some of the topics that will be covered are as follows.
Joint training for mental health issues.
Representation issues, officers not haveing stewards while in discipline meetings, or in accommodation meetings.
There are a number of outstanding grievances that the employer wishes to discuss.
This is just a bit of information to keep you guys up to date on a few things.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me an email.
