Greetings Presidents, Local Executives, Stewards and Corrections Division at large
CTO
I received this notice this morning, October 21, 2009. It states that our brothers and sisters in the Bailiff ranks and hairdressers will be able to accumulate CTO pursuant to the Collective Agreement. Please remember that CTO was originally taken away from all of us by MGS (Min. Of Government Services), the members in these ranks had no hand in this loss or continued inability to accrue CTO, they are simply covered under the C.A. and should not bare any ill will from the membership. As well, sure these members support us in our fight in getting the same rights. The first dates on the policy Grievance on CTO for the rest of our ranks is scheduled to be heard at the GSB November 4th and 5th.
Rollovers
The employer sent a partial document to the union yesterday in regards to the rollovers, they have indicated that they are still working on documents, so we are still waiting for their language around what they envision regarding the process for rollovers. We are scheduled to meet for Rollovers regardless November 12th, 2009.
ASMPP
Second stage was held on the policy grievance and September 8th, and to date we have not received any response to this 2nd stage. Given the lack of response we have moved forward for dates and now have February 22nd, April 27, May 3th and 10th, 2010 are now scheduled for the GSB.
Meeting With Deputy Minister and ADM’s
Representatives from the Presidents office, Gord Longhi and myself met with the Deputy Minister and ADM’s for Institutions and Community. We spoke about the implementation of the Security Provisions and Inmate Management Committees Recommendations. There was discussion on moving on initiatives to build staff moral and connections within the community. We also spoke about dealing with the grievance process in a more pro-active and expedient manner.
Forward Always
The division, its volunteer activists and our staff continue to work towards making our work sites a better place for all our members. Thank you for your continued work and support of your division. In Sol., eddy
