AMS – Reopening Plan – May 19, 2020

Your union is working along with your employer to ensure that their plans to re-open follow the Provincial Health guidelines for Phase 2 of the British Columbia’s Restart Plan.   This is to ensure that all members stay safe as they return to work next week.

One of the directives the employer will be presenting is to encourage members to take their lunch breaks at their desks.  Your union suggested that members should be provided with signage that would inform co-workers and management that you are on a break and should not be interrupted.  Your employer agrees and suggests that each of you make yourself a sign for your desk and utilize it when taking your breaks.

We are committed to keeping you informed as we move through this process together. Your union has reviewed the staggered schedule for members and agrees that this schedule is a good start to ensuring your safety.

If there are any concerns, we do want to hear from you.  We know that returning to the workplace at this time can be challenging and many of you may have concerns.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your Job Stewards, Grace Zhao, Ricardo Bortolon, and Nadia Sobouhi or your OH&S Committee Representative Joanne Pickford. You can also contact your Union Representative Kelly Quinn, kquinn@moveptogether.ca .

MoveUP’s website also has great information on our COVID 19 resource page and we encourage you to visit it frequently.

Hoping all of you are staying safe and have a great long weekend,

In solidarity,

Kelly Quinn
Union Representative
