WHAT IS HAPPENING ON YOUR WORK FLOOR?

The Publications Committee is requesting submissions for the first issue of UPDATE for 2026! We are looking for short submissions (50-100 words in length) detailing what is happening during your shift.

Much has happened on the work floor since the last issue and we want to hear from you. How do members feel about the slow drip of information about the tentative collective agreements? What are the big issues with the latest SSD rollouts? Do you have health and safety issues on the job? Are there fun social events coming up. Let us know!

Send all submissions to [email protected] for consideration. Email us to make alternate arrangements, or come find a Pub Committee member!

Please submit by February 13, 2026 to be considered for the next issue.
