December News - Member Poll, Pension Matters, WEG Accountability Campaign

Pension Matters:
Unfortunately, there was not enough interest from our Plan Members to conduct the Pension Seminars scheduled for October, 2009.
The Power Point presentation, which was to be featured at the sessions, is available for viewing or downloading > Click here

The Part-Time pension complaint hearings conducted by the FSCO tribunal are completed. We will post the decision of the Tribunal when it becomes available.

WEG Accountability Campaign:
Local Union Representatives have ongoing meetings with Woodbine Management and CAW National Representatives to be informed of the planned changes to our workplace.
Together with CAW National, our Local is planning a campaign to our Provincial Government to demand accountability from racetrack operators for the $millions in slot revenues they receive.

Accountability for:
· the creation and maintenance of decent full time jobs
· evidence of racetrack industry building
· safe, serviced, responsible gambling facilities

We are launching our first poll:

The first in a series of polls to engage our membership in the issues that affect us all.

On a sad note: Former long time Seniority List Member Pat Petrie passed away on Thursday, November 12, 2009.
