March 13, 2019 – Dear Brothers and Sisters, As I’m sure most of you are aware, the Work/Rest rules are currently under review. We believe the membership should have input on the TCRC’s position regarding hours of service, hence we have created a short survey designed to convey your opinions to the National office.
WORK/REST RULES ARE A REGULATORY PROCESS
Please
be aware that the development of the Work/Rest rules are a regulatory
process, not a negotiation and that the opinions provided by the TCRC
are not demands. The Ministerial order mandates that the Work/Rest rule
update will be based on modern fatigue science and Transport Canada
will ultimately decide what the final rule will be. The TCRC will
formulate our submission on input from the membership, TCRC officers
and our fatigue specialist. We will be distributing the link to the
survey by email and with a link on our National website. The survey
begins with the user providing their name and contact information. This
will be used to verify the input is being provided by a TCRC member and
to update our membership contact information database.
I urge each of you to fill out the survey and let your opinion be heard. The survey will end on March 31st , 2019. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/B9P73PQ
In solidarity,
Lyndon Isaak
President – TCRC
