Temp Inter Division Transfer Update.

Members,

In February, the Union and Company agreed to a Temporary Inter Divisional Transfer L.O.U with an expiration date of May 31/25.

2 weeks ago SR VP Brad Forster approached the union for an extension till Sept. The Union requested an updated list of members currently still on transfer. That list was finally received yesterday (May 26/25).

The Union is currently waiting on HR to draft up an extension L.O.U to review. Expectation was this should have been received last week from HR but again, unfortunately it was not. We hope to review in the next day or 2, depending on when HR gets the Union the draft.

If you have any questions please reach out to Mike Day @ 306-569-9663.

Temporary Inter Division Transfer

The Company and the Union have agreed to 20 Temporary Inter Divisional Transfers from Tubular to Steel Division. Both parties agree this opportunity will be afforded to the most Senior Tubular employees on layoff. These employees will have the right to return to the Tubular Division based on their Plant Seniority.

The end date of temporary appointments may be adjusted based on operational need utilizing inverse seniority.

Senior Tubular employees that are currently employed and are required to remain and support Tubular Operations during the term of this LOU, and are subsequently laid off from Tubular Operations, will have the opportunity to displace the least senior Temporary Steel Helper employees should the opportunity arise.

The company will contact laid off employees based on plant seniority to expedite the process. In addition, the company will provide the union with a list of employees contacted including the start date, date the employee was contacted and if the employee accepted/declined the Temporary Transfer with the date that decision was provided.

This LOU is in effect at the date of signing and will end on or before May 31, 2025.

Steel Helper Positions awarded to JR applicants

Members,

As some of you may have seen, there was a posting on our web page for 4 permanent Steel Helper positions. The application for that posting closed on Dec 23/24. The company had not, nor still hasn’t posted the successful bidders as per Article 12.09 (a).

Today, the Union learned from Human Resources, that the company (without discussion with the Union) is going to be offering the positions to Junior applicants. As soon as we became aware of this, a group grievance was filed with the company.

It would appear that this company is using similar tactics as they did on the Tubular side in 2020. All the time being in the middle of negotiations and so close to our next dates the week of Jan 18/25. Their actions again are a solid reminder of the little respect shown to our members and the collective agreement.

In Solidarity

Merry Christmas

Members,

From your 5890 Executive, we’d like to wish all our members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Although we saw some profits in 2024, it was again, a rough and unfortunate year for our laid off members.

With the New Year approaching, we are all looking forward to the hope of brighter times ahead. Be safe and look out for one another.

In Solidarity 5890 Executive.
