URGENT
- BILL C-377
Local 8 is
urging all members to check out
workersbuildcanada.ca
to
voice your concerns about Bill C-377,
(officially called amendments to the
Income Tax Act) also known as “The Trade
Union Regulation Act”. This bill, if
passed will have a serious negative
effect on all Trade Unions and their
service providers, such as Health &
Welfare and Pension Plan providers.
Please take a few minutes to visit the
website for more information. Register
on the site to sign the petition or send
a message to your Member of Parliament.

Tired of Site Access Testing?
The Rapid Site Access
Program is a voluntary alternative to
site access testing whereby workers
agree to be subject to random alcohol
and drug testing while on site.
(Random drug tests are performed via
oral fluid - sometimes referred to as
“oral swab tests”) In return,
workers are dispatched directly to
participating sites without having to
submit to a site access test.
The program is available
to travel card holders and
registration/enrollment is processed
regardless of whether or not you are
currently employed.
To register online for
the Rapid Site Access Program please
proceed to
http://www.rsap.ca
and
click on the self registration menu
item.
Upon receipt of your registration, a
representative of Organizational Health
Incorporated will contact you to enroll
you in the system.
