The Manitoba Nurses Union says it knows that the game of catch-up is at least on hold, if not over -- Manitoba's forecasted deficit has tempered monetary demands at the bargaining tables. All nursing locals are at a central table, with some negotiating issues specific to their hospitals -- St. Boniface nurses are upset the province wants to update a 35-year-old seniority clause that gives prominence to the number of years a nurse has worked when she or he is vying for a new job in the hospital. All other Winnipeg hospitals make seniority one of a number of conditions. The province says standardizing seniority clauses makes it easier to move health programs among the sites, something the union disputes.

We've been quite clear that this is not a permanent closure, and we do intend to resume operations here when the markets dictate that it can be done profitably," plant manager Dave Neufeld said in an interview.
Tolko nearly permanently closed the sawmill and its adjacent paper mill four years ago until workers at both plants accepted pay cuts. At the time, taxes the company paid accounted for 17 per cent of the town's annual budget. The paper mill remains open, and its order book is full for 2010, Neufeld said.
Of greater concern is many of the mill's tradespeople -- millwrights, electricians and mechanics -- are closing in on retirement. They've maintained their jobs at the plant because of their seniority, helping to produce wood chips for the paper mill.

This paper empirically examined the level of Japanese work organization and management techniques as practiced in PROTON. It has been argued that the Japanese work organization has been practiced and transferred more successful in the automobile industry because of its higher technicality. The PROTON-MITSUBISHI alliance has now been going for more than two decades (since 1982). Although PROTON has not yet been able to produce its own engine unless the CamPro engine with Waja model in 1999, this alliance is the best case to test the extent Japanese work organization is practiced to test the degree of transfer in the best sector and the best project to be studied. The discussion on Japanese influence on PROTON manufacturing systems to access the role of technological transfer done by Mits...

Typically, the recruitment process is anywhere from six to 12 weeks depending on the level of seniority in the organization. The first phase of screening the resumes is often completed within the first three weeks after receiving your resume. If you haven't been notified of an interview by this time, you will probably not be called. However, that shouldn't stop you from approaching the employer and asking for some feedback.
Whereas your letter suggests you are a new university graduate, I would suggest that you try to find a contact person who can "bridge" you into a potential employer. This bridge contact person will typically know someone to whom they can refer you. Ask for an informational interview so that you can learn more about the organization. Often this approach leads to ot...

The Manitoba Labour Board recently revoked Local 832 United Food and Commercial Workers union as the bargaining representative for the Mexican workers at Mayfair Farm in Portage la Prairie. A year ago, the UFCW and Mayfair Farm signed a three-year collective agreement, giving the migrant workers annual wage increases tied to the provincial minimum wage, overtime rates, seniority rights and a grievance procedure.
