Nope terms don’t get anything. We can get the Crb which equals 450$ per week from the govt but nothing from CP.mikebc wrote: ↑ The reddit thread re: the news article has an LJOSH rep saying that terms / casuals don't get quarantine pay. Anyone know about this? It seems like they would be eligible for something, at least the Canada sick leave benefit. His comments definitely seem misleading, saying it encourages terms to come to work sick. I feel like CUPW would be bleating this injustice to anyone who'd listen if CP is forcing terms to quarantine at home with no pay.

Considering there's 4000+ employees at Gateway (in which case, 121 is a drop in the bucket), I'm assuming there's probably 10x that number at home on precautionary or "sick holiday". We shouldn't be seeing service interruptions over a 2% drop in staffing. They said they started mass testing yesterday, I'm assuming that 121 number will be eclipsed shortly by real numbers showing a mass outbreak. At minimum, an entire shift was likely directly exposed, meaning potentially a thousand people were a fabric mask away from infection. We all know there's no social distancing going on in processing centers.
On a side note, I just had 3 personal packages blast through Mississauga on the weekend (under 24 hours between drop off, initial process and "in transit"). 2 days to Richmond, on my doorstep today. I know there are still backlogs out there, but first-in-first-out has absolutely been ignored. I delivered an expresspost packet from Nov 21 yesterday.
Obviously we need robotic help in the plant, employees are not reliable and healthy enough to keep our essential operation in business.
The "experts" promised us that this would be over if we all would wear masks and follow dear leaders instructions....meanwhile dear leaders and his/her friends broke ALL the rules as they tend to do.your best bet wrote: ↑ masks,,i doubt they work,,but i do agree with the social distancing.....hopefully canada post does the social distancing protocal,,,,
Wrong. They said to wear masks to help flatten the curve and to help to not overwhelm the hospitals. You have got to stop listening to Fox news. There is only one clown that said it would all go away.......and now thankfully....he has.

Don't worry though, your job isn't one of thousands being destroyed while the curve still wasn't "flattened",by wearing a piece of cloth.
Now you can go back to watching CBC,NBC,FOX,BBC, and the rest since they've had the same news about COVID since last March.
Holy, was the number from the mandatory test? Has the test completed?explorer11 wrote: ↑ 27 more employees tested positive within the last 48 hours
i guess that would bring the numbers up and around 148
Nope. Shift one and two have not been tested yet. Shift 1 and 2 is not mandatory, unlike shift 3 which all employee were to get tested. If refused you go home to quarantine . If you break quarantine you could face a fine and possible suspension
Test is bogus anyway, take it 5 times good chance you'll get various results, lots of bogus employees at Gateway too, dogf@@@ is a hobby there!TonyS44950 wrote: ↑ “Refuse to test”... For the safety of all the refuse to test shouldn’t be allowed.
And how on earth can Gateway have so many positive cases when CP has been implementing mask use and social distancing?... is it because of infected people spreading it during lunch break?
