Claude Vincent Retires after 20 Years with RRC
Claude started at RRC on April 18, 1995, as a Planner Buyer. Claude worked for the supply chain buying parts for military engines such as the T64, Nene and Adour until 2000.
Starting in 2000, Claude became the MRPC for all hardware for all RR engines overhauled at RRC.
Claude has enjoyed his career with Rolls Royce Canada. His advice for the younger generation is to work as a family member and to always keep in mind the human side and human relations.
Claude’s retirement plans include travel, volunteering with his lovely wife, nature walks and returning to school to study economics.
We wish Claude a happy and healthy retirement!

DID YOU KNOW?
Since 1997, despite a trade-unionization rate of 39,9% against 28,2% in Ontario, labour productivity growth in Quebec has not only caught up but outperformed that of our neighbours!

Our Retiree Scrutineers
Congratulations to the new LL2468 (RRC) Negotiation Committee members! Ivan Halar, Kim Greenwood and Sylvia Baard have been voted-in to become the three additional members of the LL2468 (RRC) Negotiation Committee, joining previously instated member Matt McGinn, VP of LL2468.
Please join me in wishing them success in their new roles!
Voter turn-out was approximately 65%. That’s pretty much on par with voter turnout at federal elections and referendums for the past two decades, but we could do better!
Many thanks to Ed O’Flaherty and Greg Palmer, our retiree scrutineers!

New Union Office!
As of January, 2015, our lodge has a new home! We are now located at 2575 32nd avenue in Lachine, H8T 3G9. There are several maps posted to make your way from RRC or Siemens, by foot or by car. Most of our General Meetings will be held here, along with most votes and Special Meetings. Located 450 m from RRC/Siemens by foot along Cote-de-liesse, attending union meetings has never been easier!
