USW ROB MASON UPDATE

Rob Mason called the action centre to let us know that our claims against MNP/GENFAST for monies owed is still moving ahead. He would like to update us on a few items of interest. The Stay against legal procedings has been lifted.

Obviously this is going to take some time, and while Rob uses terms like cautiously optimistic, I am pleased to hear that the Legal Dept is still advancing our case.

Obviously there is more, more that I/we are not going to be told about our suit, because no one wants to say something that could inadvertantly jeopardize our file.

Regardless, it is going to be a long haul, and the USW will keep us updated on any major developments.

Genfast Blog Searching

I was scanning the blogs for Genfast and this post appeared from last year.

Can you imagine what other changes this company may be facing. ?

April 2006

"Well, it looks like my company will finally be sold. Supposedly a huge company from Michigan called "MNP Fasteners" is buying it. We are suppose to get more details this week coming up. Our night leadman is gonna be gone for some things, so I will have to work a split shift for awhile. Instead of working 6am to 330pm, I will be working 12 noon to 1030pm............"

Going to School Part 2 (HOW IRONIC

School closure strands students; Danjay Training Solutions shut doors suddenly last monthPosted By Susan Gamble

Posted 2 hours agoA 10-year-old local skills training school for adults says it was forced to shut its doors due to new government rules.

Danjay Training Solutions, on Hachborn Road, closed in late October without notifying students, some of whom are stuck with no training certificates or marks for their work at the school.The school offered computer classes that were self-paced, meaning students worked through books at their own speed with an instructor available to assist them."How ironic," said student Gib Love. "I lost my job at GenFast and go to school and it closes."
