Does anyone know what the big Tembec meetings were about this week? We heard rumours that they were asking for pay cuts?

I talked to someone who works at Elko and he said the company is asking for a 10% pay cut.

What you heard was correct, but i stand by our posting on elkoecho.blogspot.com/"Resulting from the local USW meeting with the Company on April 6, new developments are being discussed. All discussions are just that, dicussions, and no decisions will be finalized without a general union meeting, to be held in the near future." It is difficult to say what the results are going to be when such delicate discussions are going on, and a lot of parties are going to play a role in the final outcome. The company deadline for our decisions is April 15th, but because they fail to offer an explaination about that date, it appears to be something pulled out of their hat. Don't forget that the IFLRA has already sent out their letter to the USW Local 1-405 containing legal instructions to commence bargaining prior to the end of the IFLRA-USW interior contract on June 30th, 2009. It makes for a complex situation, as legalities can be the determining factor. |
