Nlta Collective Agreement Sick Leave

The Teachers` Association argues that if a teacher is usually good enough to do his or her duties, there is no need to take time off from sick leave. More than 100 farm workers from Trinidad and Tobago could be stranded in Norfolk County for Christmas because their government will not let them go home. The increase in the number of COVID 19s in Canada has been reluctant for the Trinidadian authorities to take travel exemption measures for seasonal workers wishing to cross the caribbean`s closed border. This makes workers tremble through the beginning of winter, as they wonder how long the money they have earned this season will last. “Everyone is now complaining to the minister of security because people`s contracts are done and they can`t go home,” said Anthony, a farm worker in Norfolk. “The problem is really and really back in Trinidad, because Canada is ready to allow us to go home.” The viewer does not cite the workers interviewed for this story, who fear that criticism of their government will jeopardize their place in the seasonal program for agricultural workers next year. The names of the workers have been changed. Patricia said she could understand that her government is focused on controlling COVID-19. “I know it`s been a bumpy road this year, but the less people bring them back to the country, the less likely the crown will spread very quickly, right?” she said.

“That`s what the Trinidad government has tried to do so far.” But being outstanding is difficult, especially for workers like David, who is faced with the prospect of being away from his young children during the holidays. “The experience here would have been great, but the experience would have been great if it was with the family. I want to spend time with my kids at Christmas,” said David, who landed in Canada in January to start an eight-month contract. “And we`re still here,” he said, listing six separate flights to the house, which were booked and then postponed. “When we get messages we`re waiting for, we call our family and tell them we`re going home. They`re making their hopes, they`re excited,” he said. When you call the family and tell them you can`t come, it`s depressing. Since returnees from a high-risk country such as Canada must be quarantined in a hotel for seven days, even if workers are allowed to leave this month, there is no guarantee that they will be with their families on Christmas Day. There`s another problem, David added. “If we`re stuck here for Christmas, everyone will be broke,” he said. “I send most of my money home because I have to pay bills at home, I have credits that I can pay back at home, and I have my family to see.

The house had to work again. He used that little money to buy gifts for his family before his real flight home in September.
