Just to provide a bit of an update. Well, I guess this is going about as fair as I could have expected from these people. I claimed that this email I'd received, along with everything that's happened regarding this issue, constitutes harassment. Turns out that the Workplace Discrimination and...

36 hit combo, supreme victory muhfugguh!

No worries Kagey K, I figured you were joking, no offense taken and no need to apologize! My sense of humour is a touch on the dark side, if you re-read my reply knowing that, you'll see that I was attempting to join in the jest as well! The 'Scro

I'll see if I can power through everyone's questions in one go. Laughing it off is probably the safest bet, but when I said I was a bit angry, I really meant a bit. My overall feelings are that this crap has finally come to a head with this guy. Seems like he's grasping at straws here, and now...

Right now i'm considering filing with the Ontario labor relations board, and conscientiously objecting to paying my dues to the union so I can divert those dues to a charitable organization as a charitable donation, maybe CASAA. I can't consciously continue to pay these people to keep harassing...

Haters gonna hate, Vapers gonna vape. Seriously though, I'm going to sleep now. Damn you DST!

Good things come to those who vape. Another vape, another birthday. Better vape than sorry. Better to vape and be thought a fool than to hate blindly and remove all doubt. Where there's smoke there's fire; Where there's vapour there's neither. That's all I can think of tonight.

So after the union staff rep called and said he didn't want to talk about misrepresentation, and said there's nothing they can do about the policy and the fact that it is harassment and discrimination, I emailed him a summary of our conversation and asked him to confirm... Well it's been 2 days...

My sentiments exactly. I play for keeps.

I did, he didn't want to talk about that subject, he just wanted to talk about the vaping policies.

Well, I just got un-psyched, hard. I talked to the union staff rep, and he says we can't do anything until they outright ban all vaping products from the workplace. Not sure what to do now.... Suvunabish!

Looks like I might get a crack at actually bringing some information to the table. After my acting president of my local hadn't responded to my email after a week, I forwarded it over his head (yesterday). I got a reply from a staff representative who said he wants to talk tomorrow, today he...

Hadn't thought of it that way Projectguy, you have a very good point.

I've been crying foul for a while, no one wants to hear it. This has been the most awkwardly handled basket of turds I've ever tasted. This is why I'm seriously considering the media / courts approach. I'm getting no results trying to use the system as it's intended to operate - the system has...

JH&S isn't doing anything about the smokers, just us. The thing that really gets me isn't just that people are abusing the protection of my union, it's that the union is using it's protections against me. One if the refusers is the acting president of my local union. I can't for the life of me...

Sharpening my blades right now.

Fourtytwo, I'm not talking about questioning or reversing MOL's decision, I'm talking about the policy created by the joint health and safety committee at our building. These were the people who basically started all this, then the people refusing to work forced the MOL into their investigation...

Well, it wasn't a coworker, and it wasn't in a hall, and I didn't have to drop trow... But yeah!

I see what you're saying Projectguy, I'm just brainstorming here :) The reason for me considering the JH&S approach is because I'm told by management that their hands were more or less tied when it comes to JH&S creating policy. I'm not sure they have absolutely no say in the matter, but it...

I was thinking of doing exactly that. I would like to ensure that more union members and employees become aware of this issue, and that they remember that they got called on their BS, so that hopefully this crap doesn't have to happen to anyone else. This might be the only way to accomplish...
