USW VS MNP (GENFAST)

Genfast Closed April 5th, 2007 sending hundreds of Salaried and Bargaining unit employees to the Unemployment Line. A trend that would continue in Brant County to present day.

The United Steelworkers on behalf of the former Bargaining Unit Employees is continuing forward in its court case against Parent Company MNP corporation for owed Severance and Termination Pay.

The dedication of the United Steelworkers successfully secured monies owing in wages, then half of the vacation pay, and then another 40% of vacation payed owed, and in November 2008 secured the final 10% of owed vacation pay.

Some Salaried Employees were not as fortuneate.

The United Steelworkers has scheduled Six More court dates.

These Court Dates are

February 2, 3, 4th, 2010
9:30AM, 2nd Floor Board Room,
505 University Ave, Toronto

And

February 8th, 9th, 10th

USW vs MNP on CKPC Radio

Today I heard CKPC radio following up on the court proceedings against MNP for Severance and Termination pay.

The next court dates are June 3rd and June 4th for those who wish to attend.

USW VS MNP

The court date of April 27th, 2009 has been pushed back, because the documentation that the USW sent to MNP will require more time to address then the single day available. It looks like a 2 or more days in succession will be required.


Stay tuned for the rescheduling....

Ontario Labour Relations Board

A brief update on what went on yesterday.

2 hours were spent between the two parties, unable to agree that MNP corporation had any business (es) in Canada/Ontario. MNP is providing the "I know nothing" about Genfast defence. That Genfast is a separate bankrupt company that has nothing to do with them. The MNP lawyer provided a "hypothetical" situation that had an incredible similarty to the Genfast/MNP relationship, and disputed that even under this situation the OLB has any jurisdiction as they are an American Company.

The MNP tactic is to block. Stop the argument at ownership vs control.

I wanted to jump out of the visitors chair on a number of occasions.
People from the salaried and union were in attendance watching this unfold.

I believe the USW wishes to have an update with our membership before the next hearing date.

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............"
