Web Page

The first new thing is of course this web page. The intention is to keep the members up to date and to introduce us to anyone interested in joining our Union. Check back regularly as new information will be posted regularly. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions which you think might be of interest to RWU members then feel free to pass them along. We would be happy to hear from you.

Organizing Tips

Thanks to all the members who have passed on organizing tips to the Union. Like any organization, we are always in expansion mode and the information received from members often leads to new members. Keep the tips coming and don't be afraid to call the office yourself on behalf of someone if they have questions. We are always glad to help.

1-877-RWUNION

The Union now has a toll-free number: 1 877 798 6466 (1 877 RWUNION). This should make it easier for our out-of -town members to keep in touch. Come to think of it, this Web Page will also make it easier to stay in touch!

Employee Assistance Plan becomes Interlock

Retail Wholesale Union Employee Assistance Plan Coordinator, Howard Bismeyer, recently announced his intention to return to the workforce at Summit Logistics. Prior to leaving, Howard investigated and researched potential replacement organizations. The Trustees of the plan have decided that "interlock" Employee and Family Assistance Corp. of Canada would replace the current plan. Information on interlock will be provided to affected employees once things are finalized. In the meantime, more information on interlock can be obtained at www.interlock-eap.com. The staff, Council and Executive of the Union would like to thank Howard for all his hard work and wish him the best of luck. Howard has helped many people over his years as the EAP Coordinator and he deserves recognition for the contributions he has made. Thanks again, Howard!
