I have a branch meeting because there was problems with scheduling prior to me becoming a Union rep. So I have a branch meeting to hear what the members are saying so they can explain what is affecting them within the schedule, what ideas they have that they would like myself and the Union to do in order to make changes to facilitate a better working environment for them. So I’ve taken on board everything that what they have said. I have brought the ideas to the employer in order to make the changes. The employers are looking into the matter. And they will be getting back to me in due time to make the changes or to stick to what it was. And then we’ll take it from there. I’ll start off with, don’t work. So for example, you would have members having issues. And they’re making complaints. But they’re only making the complaint so little management and not notifying myself or other Union representatives of the complaint. So I find it difficult for me to sort out the issue. So my advice to my members are to make the complaint to the managers as your willing right to, and that’s the right process. But also provide myself or other Union representative within my branch with a copy of that complaint in order for me to follow it up. And where it can become collective is if myself or other representative notice that the complaint or complaints are the same, then we will go down the collective grievance route.
