will not question it after a while. Instead of having to explain your whereabouts keep this in mind. The fourth thing is return from breaks

and

lunches on time. Breaks are 15 minutes and include travel time. You do not get a wash-up for breaks. You do get a 5 minute wash-up for lunch and end of tour. Keep these in mind for the fifth thing which is don’t listen to your co-workers on the floor. They may give you false information which could lead to corrective action. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask a union steward. If something sounds too good to be true it usually is. These rules may seem too simple and common sense and for the most part they are. Following these guidelines will save you a bunch of headaches and aggravation. You’re on probation for 90 days.

Trahan’s Corner

We sought to portray how collective bargaining contracts promote public health. beyond their known effect on individual family. And community well-being. In 2020 all of our lives were challenged with the Corona virus, but together we got through the worst part. We created an abstract tool to identify health-related elements. After enumerating the contract protected benefits and working conditions. Through all this we interviewed union organizers and members to learn how this promoted health. Labor union contracts create higher wages and benefits standard working hours limits, workplace hazards and other factors. In closing I would like to just say that it takes us to protect ourselves, focus more on our accomplishments, stay union strong. Thank you..
