President's Update 

Week of April 27

     I have asked for a weekly meeting from Dave Rivard (VP Operations) to discuss the business plan as it may keep changing as time goes on. These meetings were to happen on Tuesday afternoons, unfortunately Dave has left ways from Stelco and has yet to be replaced.

 

After speaking with Cliff Smith (COO Cleveland Cliffs), now that the Canadian election is over, the hope is that Trump will finalize a negotiation with Canada on steel and aluminum.

 

If your car is damaged on site from fallout, oiled fields, etc. you need to report it to security before you leave site to go home. If you realize it after you get home, you need to report it on your way in the next shift.

 

Thank you to our Health and Safety Group (Paul McCrea, Alex Merwin, Jeff Poppe and Sandy Gibbons) for standing outside the gate handing out Day of Mourning stickers last Monday Morning.

  

 

RUMOUR OF THE WEEK...

 

"I heard this was just the first round of salary terminations and more to come?"

 

We're not real sure what the plan is for the salary group. It is my understanding that there is currently no plan to reduce the Bargaining Unit workforce and that few if any front-line supervisors would be affected by the decrease. 

 

Thanks, 

John McElroy
President USW Local 8782
