New employees union orientation with a shop steward.

New hires have a right to:

1.    Be informed by the Employer when hired that a collective agreement is in effect.
2.    Be provided a dues check off form to complete.
3.    Be informed by the Employer as to who your local shop steward is and their contact information.
4.    A 15-minute orientation period with a shop steward within the first 30 days of employment. This orientation will assist you in understanding the collective agreement and your workplace.

These provisions were negotiated on your behalf and assist you in being fully informed. They can be found in the Public Service Agreement at Article 5.
