they don't care about you.... period ! i took 3 extra days off after my turnaround because my son died. i went back to work and PCL docked my overtime because i didn't work the full 2 weeks. my son died and they still docked me ! i bought a house and submitted my paperwork for my sub. i was told i didn't qualify because i should've bought a house closer to the job site. the union tried contacting them but PCL just ignored them. i finally got my sub (and retro) after 4-5 months.... i work for them for over 2 years in Saskatchewan, after i take a call with them in fort mac.(for some reason i thought that it would be impossible that the insanity would be in alberta too) anyway, i didn't have my red seal.... they give me 1st year rate.... oh, and a set of drawings and 3 people to help me out.... i get journyman responsibility but kid's pay... (i have my redseal now) i forgot to pack my work jeans (i'm only in camp this time for 1 week) i ask if i could please wear a pair of coveralls so i can wash my jeans and fly home clean.... they said no ! i never have actually asked for anything except this.... anyway, that's how they treat you... you can work harder than 10... but you're only a # and a dollar sign to them... as far as the ratings go i rated evrything 1 star. money and benifits aren't PCL... it's our union agreement... the rest really are 1 star... i invite management to defend themselves on any of my points....
