Layoffs at MTS

Six CEP Local 7 members who work part-time in MTS Retail Activations have been laid off. The reason the company has given for the layoffs is that the workload has decreased. However, CEP members in various departments are saying that overtime is being offered on a daily basis. The union will continue to investigate if the company is in breach of their obligation under the contract.

An Attack on Unions - An Attack on You

Canada's Building Trades unions have produced a one minute video exposing the truth behind the federal Conservative's proposed C-377. This Bill has already received Third Reading in the House of Commons and is now before the Senate. It will impose financial and other hardships on unions and their members. Please take a minute to view this video.
