As I said in last month’s letter I will talk about how the company will try to get us to put our Health and Safety aside to get the job done. Now this may seem like a weird thing to say but here it is. Do your job as it is set. What I mean is do not go over and above. Do not do things like what upsets me the most, work through your breaks or not take your breaks. When you do this you are not giving yourself time to relax and set yourself in a healthy state. Breaks are there for a reason. They have been fought for in the past by our Union. The company has set the way that they would like to have you do your job. So be it. Use it to take your breaks. If you do not take your breaks you are playing right into the company’s hand and they will look for a way to put more work in your shift. Show up in time before your shift, punch in on time, and follow your break schedule. This is the best way to maintain your health during your shift. Take your break you have earned it.
I have several topics I would like to talk about as the season changes, but I will save that till next month.

Thank you for your time
