Latest Covid19 information and forms 4/6/2020
To All SMART-TD Membership:
In line with our commitments to your health and safety and to provide information about the effects of the COVID-19 situation on you, as a SMART-TD member, we offer the following. 100's of bulletins were distributed to your Chairpersons today to take and distribute to your Divisions this evening and post on the Division Union Board.
*Returning to work after being off work due to a diagnosis or known exposure to COVID-19* will be handled under the Fitness for Duty policy HR 29 (attached). This policy applies if an employee had a condition that may pose a risk of spreading a highly contagious serious disease to co-workers. The only items Metro clinics will confirm during the exam are limited to only the review of the medical history information regarding COVID-19 to determine that the return to work is in the best interest of publics health and the safety of other employees and with the goal of limiting the spread of COVID at the workplace. Those that went on leave on "SELF Quarantine" do not need a return to work from any clinic.
To All SMART-TD GO875 membership: Today, May 1, 2020 updated information on the effects of the COVID-19 situation on you, as a SMART-TD member. Once again, 100's of bulletins were distributed to your Chairpersons late this afternoon to take and distribute to your Divisions this evening and post on the Division Union Board. Regards, John M. Ellis, General Chairman
To All SMART-TD Membership:
Things have settled down with the COVID-19 situation and fewer changes have been required. Therefore, we have only a couple of new items to report. We want to make sure, however, that you have the very latest information updates. Bulletins will be given to your Local Chairpersons for dispursement and to be posted on your Union Division Board.
It is with great sorrow that I must notify our brothers and sisters of the death of one of our Union brothers of SMART-TD.
*UPCOMING Contract Negotiations*
Bulletins will be distributed at all of SMART’s Divisions on Monday, July 26, 2021 and posted on all Union bulletin boards.
Please, update your address with your Local Chairpersons or the Irwindale Union office at 626 962-9980.
In Solidarity,
John M. Ellis
General Chairman
