(Comments from Fall Advocate, Posted October 22, 2010) Greetings Brothers and Sisters, Another great summer has come to an end. We hope you all were able to get that much needed time off to spend with family and friends. Your fall issue of the Advocate contains lots of information that I hope you take the time to read and enjoy. As usual we always invite our members to send in stories to be printed in your most informative paper which every member of PEI UPSE receives three to four times a year. I would like to begin by sending out a congratulatory applause to more than sixty Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who successfully completed their pharmacology course. They deserve a medal for what they have gone through. On behalf of PEI UPSE I would like to recognize the hard work, sacrifices, and success you all have experienced throughout the months leading up to your achievement. Your union has been very busy in many sectors dealing with the issues that face our members. We have seen the completion of the Department of Education and Early Learning move to Summerside, and the Department of Fisheries Aquaculture and Rural Development move to Montague. These moves have taken their toll on employee moral as our members and their families have endured significant changes in lifestyle to accommodate the employer. The Ghiz Government s latest decision to relocate the Paint and Body Shop to Tignish was yet another extension to their highly illogical Rural Action Plan. We have corresponded with the employer about this move; however, they have not provided a reasonable response on this issue. Finally our Early Childhood Sector is getting their day, and being recognized for their important work. The ECE s will now see wages which are above minimum wage and with that this Union will continue to achieve improved benefits for the members of this sector. The provincial government needs to be congratulated for this initiative. Holland College members have faced difficulties at their negotiating table. The members in this sector will experience job growth with the new programs being delivered and greater numbers of students. Much is to be said about the improved educational infrastructure across the province providing greater accessibility for students to gain an education. No one can deny the need and the positive impact this will have on everyone. We look forward to heading back to the table with expectations that the employer will provide a monetary package that can be accepted by the members. Our private sector members too are facing challenges. Employers have capitalized on the recent economic downturn to justify belt tightening tactics and in the meanwhile have made significant profits. It s time to come to the table with a fair monetary package for the members of this sector. For the first time ever, the Civil Service, Workers Compensation Board, Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission and the Department of Health are going, or have just returned from, arbitration. The packages received, with final offers to our members, were simply unacceptable. The members of both these sectors have nothing to lose by engaging in arbitration.
