Rick is the union steward for the miners working the afternoon shift. He has been in frequent conflict with gerry, the supervisor of the afternoon shift, in regard to alleged breaches of the collective agreement by the company. The most recent dispute concerned the layoff of 10 miners from the afternoon shift. The collective agreement includes a sta(cid:374)da(cid:396)d la(cid:455)off o(cid:396) (cid:862)(cid:271)u(cid:373)pi(cid:374)g (cid:396)ights(cid:863) p(cid:396)o(cid:448)isio(cid:374) (cid:396)e(cid:395)ui(cid:396)i(cid:374)g the (cid:272)o(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455) to la(cid:455) off the most recently hired miners first. However, among the miners laid off was rahim, who was one of the longer-term workers, having worked at the hard roc mining. Rick told gerry that the company had failed to follow the layoff procedure in the collective agreement, and unless they (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:272)elled rahi(cid:373)"s la(cid:455)off, the union would file a grievance on his behalf.
