Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Labour Day is a time to recognize the contributions of workers and their unions and their collective efforts to build stronger, safer communities for everyone.  It’s also, now more than ever, a time to celebrate solidarity as we are faced with ongoing cuts to federal departments and services under the Harper government.

Please advise your members that if they are going to resign/alternate and expect/want to receive employment insurance, they should confirm what code the employer will be marking on their Record of Employment (ROE). 

We have received e-mails from members stating they have been advised by their employer that if an employee resigns under Option 6.3.1. B or C (i) under the WFA the record of employment code to be used is "E - Quit".  If an employee is laid off then the code is "A - Shortage of Work".

The 2012 Prairie Regional Health and Safety Conference is coming up quickly on November 17-18 in Edmonton, Alberta.  Plans are well under way and we are looking forward to a meaningful, productive and very successful conference. Please note that the application deadline is September 20, 2012.
