--------------------------------------------------


1. New Member Orientation, Thursday 11th March 2010

This is a basic introduction to our Union. who we are, what we do, what difference we make for workers, how our union fits into society in general, how you can get involved in the union. This course was initially designed for new members, but we have heard so many positive comments from members who have taken the course years after they joined the union, they suggest that everyone who has an interest in learning more about the union should sign up for this course.

2. Health & Safety, Friday 12th March 2010

This New CAW one day course is a great place for union reps, members, new worker health and safety committee members to learn about health and safety. The course is also a good refresher course for those with years of experience. The body mapping exercise helps participants identify the symptoms of workplace injury and the hazards in their workplaces. The class discusses the CAW's statement of principles of hazard control, and the workers rights to know, participate and refuse unsafe work.

Participants learn how to use health and safety legislation, the duties of employers, the rights of committees, regulations, guidelines, exposure limits and threshold limit values, (TLV's), the CAW accident /incident form, the right to refuse in the province, territory or jurisdiction , CAW model contract language, workplace mapping, job safety analysis and workplace inspections.

All issues are presented from a workers perspective. Strengths and limitations of each right or tool are explained. Participants see how to use various strategies to make their workplaces healthier and safer.

3. Collective Bargaining, Saturday 13th March 2010

This new one day course features a video called It is Not a Game version 2 about bargaining at a small workplace and introduces the process to beginners. Experienced bargainers will also find it a very interesting course. Participants see a set of negotiations through the eyes of Monique, a new member of a bargaining committee. We also meet Beryl, the local union president, Terry the union staff rep and Drew the member who has been through past negotiations.

Participants see the steps from the first union caucus meeting to ratification of a new contract, the debates both in the union and management committees, and all the essential elements of the collective bargaining process. Participants see how they can draw on their own strengths to make a contribution, why contract language is so important, and what resources the CAW national union provides. Everyone gets a chance to practice speaking to issues.
