    At Terasen Gas Inc. (“TGI”), a grievance filed by an employee who was suspended without pay for five days has been settled.  In part, the suspension was reduced to two days and the disciplinary letter was
rewritten in a manner which removed any implication of dishonest conduct.

   A copy of TGI’s draft ‘Distribution Peer Trainer Scope, Guidelines, Expectations, Selection / Benefits, Requests & Pay Structure’ document is being circulated for comments.  Please contact your shop steward for copies of or information about the draft. To date, members have said seniority must play a role in the selection of Peer Trainers in order to ensure those delivering peer training have the respect of their peers, the Peer Trainer role requires more definition to ensure it does not encroach on the role of Instructor, TGI needs to provide Peer Trainers with train-the-trainer and/or teacher training, the current compensation for peer training (i.e., regular rate or 105% of the gas tradesman rate, whichever is higher) is inadequate, and Peer Trainers require FOA support. 
 
   If you have suggestions or comments about the draft, please send them to Gord at gvandyck@ibew213.org as soon as possible.
