Thanks Trish, love your post. You nailed it on the head. Having been a union president for flight attendants I can tell you that the right of refusal of unsafe work was very important and taken quite seriously. This is a joke.
As for your question .... no ... clouds of cigarette smoke are what...
We are beginning to consider a worthy reporter to give this scoop to. Of course I thought of Jesse Kline right away from the National Post but are there any other suggestion on a reporter that would give this a fair hearing?
This story has (in no particular order);
- the poison workplace

Update. Just got out of a debrief on this issue. Short and sweet (for the time being);
- One of the two bargaining units in this issue has made it clear to management that they were not in on this push to get vaping banned. Really?!? I guess they were just along for the ride? Can't be an...
I have always maintained with management that this is all about harm reduction but I suspect that there response to us wanting to minimize or eliminate our exposure to second hand smoke will be one of two responses, 1) don't vape when your at work or 2) find a place outside that is away from the...
June 2011 was when I first vaped. It was Goatscrote that I kept seeing in the smokers area at work with his teabag cartos and peppermint tin mods. I asked him about it and that was it. On to the boards I went (anonymously at first) and became a vaper. Goatscrote had been vaping at his desk so I...
Oh and I also wanted to add that it is also very important to be an active member of your union that is also part of the function of belonging to a union

One of us is looking at health and safety and who knows. I've been there done that not sure I have in me again. These are big responsibilities. I also have a second job at the moment.

Thanks astounded.
DKM2, not sure how to answer that? I (we) did nothing to provoke this action. Management put out directives and we have followed and the unions weren't satisfied with that obviously so they pushed it. BTW I can't even begin to imagine the costs (tax payer dollars) that have...
The decision was provided to us just this afternoon about ten minutes before my post so we'll have to see what happens with this next week and in the weeks to come.
There appears to be some very good resources posting here. I would like to pick your brains to know if The Occupational Exposure Limits for Nicotine in this table can be simplified for the layman. How can this be translated to the levels that we typically use (i.e. 18mg) and how much volume...
At this point there has been no resolution. The MOL has not completed its investigation and still no one from MOL has asked any questions of the vapers that are known in the building.
Speculation has been that management will be filing a complaint against the unions, (go figue????) on what...
Just lurking cause i'm still feeling beat up at the moment and wanted some me time HEY how about them Habs!!!!!
I'll post a more detailed update soon but when I'm less angry :) We've essentially been thrown out to the wolves with the only ones standing up for us at the moment are management...
