![]() ![]() Do not be fooled by these illusions of grandeur, your skill and work ethic does not guarantee your promotion. Half the company consists of machine set ups being payed machine operator wages in order to keep costs down, and once again this largely takes advantage of foreigners as they either don't know they should be getting payed more ore are too desperate for a promotion to simply refuse. Then come the absurd lies, stating that we are not making any money so the yearly raises are kept to a minimum, but don't worry your promotion is just around the corner. These actions are illegal as Canadian law states that a employee receives 10 sick days each year that they cannot be punished for either monetarily or socially in any way. When calling in sick you get punished by having to sign a "pink" sheet, then your monthly bonus gets docked, but not just your monthly bonus but your entire departments monthly bonus. They take advantage of non English speaking people by telling them they "must" come in on holidays, punching in 2 minutes before your shift is considered late and you must be docked half an hour, and having foreigners work 12 hour shifts 7 days a week on a "Work Vacation". This place is so bad I don't have enough space to explain, it ranges from being watched like a hawk when work is slow, to being ignored when your swamped with work and are asking for help. I also still have the letter stating all this from the Minist. But she told t me that at that point it had been 30 days since they notified Linimar and they still hadn't fixed the breaks or put up a notice so she'd be contacting them again to find out why. She said they had gave them 30 days to do this. Letting employees know that they had not been complying with labour laws for breaks. My claim went through and I received notice from the labour board that they had found that they were not complying with the labour laws and had fined them $300 and told them to fix the breaks and put a notice up on the employee time card area. I then put in an official claim to the labour board and my contract ended 2 days after they were notified I had. I told them they were in error and they spent 4 months reviewing my claim at head office. Which meant they were missing 20 minutes in the second 6 hour shift. But labour standards says a half hour for every 5 hours you work. In the second 6 hours we only got a ten minute break. ![]() and only gave us a ten min break in the first 6 hrs and a 20 min lunch. If you came in a half hour early you could have an extra 10 minutes on your lunch for a total of a 30 min lunch and it was paid for (cause you worked a extra half hr in the morning). ![]() I worked at the Corvex plant we were doing 8hr shifts and getting appropriate break times according to labour standards 1 ten minute break in the morning and a 20 min lunch at noon. ![]()
