How to Call into S/A
Calling into the employer as sick or after an accident shouldn't be difficult. Yet many of us think we have to pretend over the phone or tell people way more than they need to know. A proper claim is simple. A suspicious claim is hard. Why not try simple?

The Overtime Equalization Problem
In our work, you can't count on OT to supplement your wage. Yet every year workers in certain jobs know that OT is part of the job and will happen like clockwork.

The Unifor Conundrum
My take on the current CLC/Unifor issue. Its a long one, so if your not interested in issues outside the Local, you can skip this one (10min). I think this situation is one of those sleeping giants that needs to be talked about.

Become a Job Steward
Believe it or not being a Job Steward can be both rewarding and degrading. Depending on the environment the active job steward will be a lightning rod for many of the issues shared with the employees and managers.
It is still important to have job stewards and I think more important to have job stewards start before the conflict begins. Whether you have been called to the roll or feel no other option the roll can be rewarding if you let it.
We will talk about what it takes to be a job steward, and how to get good at it.
Welcome to the Canadian Union Podcast for Employees
