This process has been a battle but very positive putting a substantial amount of money back into members pockets. I am in constant contact with members who are receiving resolves so far and will continue to do so as more come our way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covid has been a very trying time for all. I was fortunate enough to attend 4 CP start-up meetings in Alberta and 8 in B.C. in March and April and as the restrictions ease in the very near future I will make sure I attend as many as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have negotiated a memorandum of settlement for one of our short lines Kelowna Pacific Railway. The week of June 21 we will have a ratification vote. As of July, we will be in negotiations with CN for a contract for the Mackenzie Northern Railway members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve attended a number of statements both in AB and B.C. as well as issuing several grievances. I\u2019d like to take a quick moment to remind all of us to work safe out there and always \u201cQuestion and Document Issues\u201c.&nbsp; You have the right to know and the right for representation. Also, I am quite looking forward to coming out to Alberta the latter part of June to have more of a face-to-face visit with the crews and sections with B.C. to follow. I look forward to seeing everyone soon, WORK SAFE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/p0kJSonQIlkWbH5L28vxdyP0BxF7PkKy_iMTQJkIsL-4florFufXtUIHbQWVVYwwQajQuaUjJQLM-_dRiCGaTYQvtDVVwTxWdrWl7xlF3wPG7SYxRUgVJTsfXuFr13SgyOPR8Q\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"65\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Trevor Marshall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director Pacific Region<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TCRC MWED<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fellow Brothers and Sisters, I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update to the members of the Pacific Region since January 2021 and thank everyone of you for your continuous support as your Director.&nbsp; It\u2019s been an absolute pleasure to represent all of you and I will continue to be a leader [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=733"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":736,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733\/revisions\/736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tcrcmwed.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
