Problem at Work
If you are having an issue at your workplace, there are steps you can take:
- The first step, of course, is to try to resolve the matter yourself by going to your supervisor: make sure he or she knows that there is an issue and what you would like to see done about it before you proceed to the next step.
- Talk to your Shop Steward: he or she may have further information or advice that may help you to better understand the issue and may be able to help you resolve the complaint.
- If steps 1 and 2 have been unsuccessful, the member and the Steward formalize the complaint in writing and submit it to management on an official grievance form. A copy is faxed to the Union [604-872-5215] and the member keeps a copy. At this point, the Shop Steward or member should contact a Union Representative [either Mike Christensen or Bret O'Neill] by phone [604-876-6464] or email with information about the complaint, the investigation and what has been done so far.
