Two hydro workers grieve when
overtime premium pay denied
WHEN Newfoundland and Lab-
rador Hydro wanted to complete
work reclaiming spent oil from an
electrical transformer, the special
project required a new 24-hour
schedule.
"Due to operational require-
ments, the company requires a
24-hour shift schedule starting 8
a.m., Thursday, March 17, 2016.
The 24-hour schedule is antici-
pated to last approximately six
to seven work days pending any
unforeseen circumstances (in-
cluding Saturday and Sunday),"
said supervisor Reg Day in a
Calgary truck driver fired after he viewed
sexual images on lunch-room computer
DURING a night shift at the Calgary freight depot
for Purolator, a line-haul truck driver was seen
publicly viewing sexually explicit images on a
computer.
On Feb. 7, 2018, Darrell Trainor was in the
lunch room during a break. When two other
employees walked into the room, they saw the
images as Trainor was viewing them.
Nick Caron and Keith Raymond testified they
saw Trainor looking at the images, but the brows-
er window was quickly minimized after they
walked into the room. Trainor quietly said an ex-
pletive as he closed the windows on the screen,
said Caron.
After all three employees left the lunch room,
Caron returned and maximized the browser win-
dow. He saw the images were still there and he
took a picture of the screen with his phone.
Caron then texted the image to Dave Koczkur,
terminal manager.
