Manufacturing worker fired
after hitting partner in throat
AN OPERATOR at an automo-
tive suspension production plant
in Chatham, Ont., was terminat-
ed after he hit a colleague in the
throat during a tense conversa-
tion.
Dan Erdie had been employed
by MSSC Canada since 2010
when during a midnight shift on
June 25, 2018, he was paired with
Mike Broadbent, set-up operator,
on the stabilizer bar line.
The two had previously
worked together on the line but
Denial of premium pay for supervising
grieved by Tisdale, Sask., co-op employees
WHEN certain clerks at a Beeland Cooperative
store in Tisdale, Sask., worked alone without a
manager on duty, they were paid a premium.
But according to the collective agreement, only
those workers designated as "clerk one" received
the $1-per-hour premium, not "clerk two" em-
ployees.
The union, the Retail, Wholesale, and Depart-
ment Store Union (RWDSU), Local 496, filed a
grievance against the practice.
Trinity Tyacke, a clerk two at the location
known as a C-store (providing convenience store
and gas bar services), often did supervisory duties
during her regular shifts, she testified.
As part of her frequent duties, Tyacke opened
the store at 5:15 a.m. Tyacke regularly shut off
the alarm system, removed cash from the safe
and counted the float, started the food and coffee
preparation and arranged for shift relief if another
employee phoned in sick.
