We are opticians, optical assistants, optometrists, lab techs, call center workers and others who work in the vision industry. We stand together for fair pay and working conditions, respect for all and better patient and customer care.
As many of you know, in August, 2018, the Union filed a grievance, protesting the Company requiring some apprentices to practice ophthalmic dispensing when their sponsor was not on premises.
The union filed a grievance with Visionworks over the use of apprentices and how it relates to the relationship with their sponsors. This grievance was not settled and went to arbitration.
Arbitration was held in October and November.
Attached HERE is the unions brief in regards to the arbitration.
