April 28th Day of Mourning

by
Local 1936 would like to recognize all those that have been injured, suffer or die while they have been at work. Please take a moment to watch the video (link below) and a minute of silence to reflect on those that have been affected and how you can stay safe while you work.
Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)
Every year in Canada, hundreds of workers die or suffer serious injuries and illnesses because of their work. One death is one too many. Each statistic represents a face, a life lived, loved, lost or forever altered. These tragedies have a devastating effect on not only workers, but their families, and communities as well. Each year on April 28th our National Day of Mourning, we lower our flags to half-mast and pause to reflect on, and honour, the memory of those who have died or suffered injury or illness due to a work-related tragedy. We also take this day to renew our commitment to do more to improve workplace health and safety for everyone so we can prevent further injuries, illnesses and deaths. Please join us in observing a minute of silence. If you’ve been affected by a workplace fatality, support and resources are available from Threads of Life: https://threadsoflife.ca/ Video produced by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety. https://www.ccohs.ca/events/mourning/

New Sick Pay Minimum Requirements

by

Specifically for the Community Social Services Sector , unionized employees are entitled to the following starting January 1 each year:

  1. All probationary employees – five days paid leave after 90 consecutive days of employment.
  2. Casual employees – five days paid leave for scheduled days not worked due to sickness or injury based on an “average day’s pay.” The paid leave is only available for accepted and scheduled shifts. A “leave” is not available for shifts not yet scheduled, even though a casual employee may have been offered and accepted the shifts at a later time.
  3. Regular full-time and part-time employees –five days paid leave based on an “average day’s pay” (not five days of paid leave at 80% as established under Article 19.1(c)) regardless of whether sufficient sick credits have been accrued. Where sick days are paid to employees who have not yet accrued sufficient credits, their sick banks will be deemed to be “in the negative” and the employees will not be able to take additional paid sick leave until sufficient credits have accrued later in the year to support a paid leave. Where there are sufficient credits, all sick leaves taken after the five days would be paid at 80% in accordance with the collective agreement.
