WORKPLACE BULLYING AT THE PPC!
Many of our members at the Pacific Processing Centre (PPC) have raised concerns to the Union about workplace bullying. For example, MAM 10 and MAM 11 members from Shift 3 were told by management during a recent pre-shift meeting to not rest their eyes, even if they were on their scheduled 15-minute break or scheduled 30-minute lunch break. This sort of comment is unreasonable and unacceptable in the workplace and undermines our work ethic. This is a form of bullying, which violates Article 33 of our Collective Agreement, signed by both parties. We all should stand together to stop comments like this towards our members.
