Members
Take some time
today and ask to see your personnel file. Every
member has the opportunity to review your file
once a year. The company will schedule you 30
minutes to look at the file. Take a pen and
paper with you. If you find something you
aren't sure should be in your file make notes
about it. Ask the company for a copy of it.
If you find something in your file with verbiage
you don't want others to see ask the company to
remove it. If they don't agree contact your
local job steward. Take your opportunity today
and remember to view your file every year. You
want to know what the company has documented.

SETTLEMENT REACHED IN MASS DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline took place in the District when 223 employees were
given written warnings and 32 employees were terminated as a result
of alleged "unauthorized" access to account information. The action
was taken as a result of a computer audit conducted by the company
pertaining to employee access to accounts and in some instances
dated back several years.
Ron Collins, Administrative Director to District 2 Vice-President
Pete Catucci, along with other staff representatives from the
District worked to secure a settlement on behalf of the majority of
the employees impacted. Most of the discharged employees were
returned to work, "made whole", and related documentation was
removed from their files. Warnings were removed from the files of
those that had received written warnings.
