Hi Everyone,

As you saw in Bargaining Bulletin #11 last Friday, we are at a crucial point in bargaining. We need the maximum support from you to be seen by us at the table and the Company.

We ask that all of you work safely and follow the terms of your employment. One of those terms is Article 19, Overtime.

It states as follows:

ARTICLE 19

OVERTIME

19.01 "Overtime" means the time worked by an employee:

(a) in addition to his scheduled tour of duty on any day, or

(b) on a day outside his scheduled work week

.

19.02 Except where otherwise provided herein, overtime which is compensated

at the employee’s hourly rate multiplied by either one and one-half times or two

times the hours worked:

(a) in excess of eight hours per employee in one week

And

(b) in excess of 16 hours in a designated four week period

shall be on a voluntary basis.

19.03 Where service demands are critical, as in the case of major cable

breaks, equipment failures, or in other circumstances which endanger the safety

of customers or the public, compulsory overtime may be assigned in excess of

eight hours per employee in one week.

For clarity, only the most junior employees can be forced to work overtime. It is voluntary for everyone else who is more senior to the last junior employee to be asked to work overtime. Please call me if you have any questions about being asked to work overtime in any circumstance.

Thanks for your continued support. We will update you on developments at bargaining as we get them.

Together we are Stronger!

Eric
