Attention all members:

We have now confirmed that the employer has coded, or intends to code, December 18, 2025 (the blizzard day) as a personal day for members who did not report to work.

This is not acceptable.

On December 18, all delivery and support staff were explicitly instructed not to come in due to dangerous weather conditions. Members did not request personal days and would have reported to work if instructed to do so.

Because of how the employer is handling this, each affected member must file an individual grievance.

What you need to do NOW

Check Employee Self Serve

Confirm how December 18 is coded

Take a screenshot or printout

Ensure your name and employee number are visible

Gather proof of communication

Screenshot or print any of the following:

Text messages from your supervisor

Call logs

Any other messages or instructions you received that day

Request time with a Shop Steward (in writing)

Provide the request to your supervisor

Have them sign it

Keep a copy

Example wording:

> “I, __________, am requesting time with a Shop Steward for the purpose of a grievance investigation.”

This is paid time off the floor (OT or route coverage).

Contact your Shop Steward

We will be setting up in lunchrooms to assist members with filing grievances.

Shop Stewards by Area

Moray Depot – Stella Chainho

Church Depot – Bill Zenert

McDermott Depot – Chris Desjardins & Liam Beaton

Southwest Depot – Leesia Tandberg & Joe Murphy

Northeast Depot – TBD — you are not forgotten

Do not assume this will be corrected automatically.

Do not wait.  File your grievance.

We will support members through every step of this.
