Dress Uniforms and Security Provisions and Inmate Management Memorandums
Thanks to all that assisted in moving these items forward. Like many other issues, portions of these agreements have been on our division agenda for many years, we are happy to be moving these items forward.
It may take some time to roll these initiatives out fully, but these and other items we are all still working on, are sure to assist our members in their difficult jobs.
H1N1; we have asked that the employer request of Public Health and the government as a whole, to reverse the decision not to provide vaccination clinics within our institutions for our members. Our president Smokey has sent a letter directly to the Premier as well as sent out a press release. We are considering a policy grievance if this decision is not reconsidered.
ROLLOVERS; The employer has provided us with a partial document around rollovers. We are still awaiting further documentation from the employer. Again, once we have an agreement, we will send it out to the Presidents and post on the Corrections Web Site for all the members to peruse. Our next meeting date with management around Rolls is set for November 12th.
CTO; hearing dates this week.
ASMPP; we are looking at dates for the end of this year or the beginning of the new year for the union policy grievance to be heard, we have yet to hear a response from the newly formed “Attendance Support and Management Office” on the second stage meeting we had.
MCSCS MERC Meeting; Our next MCSCS MERC meeting is scheduled for November 24th. We encourage the locals to have their Local ERC’s, for the Presidents or send designates to attend the regional forums and issues that have not been resolved at these meetings to be forwarded to the provincial Corrections teams depending on what Ministry you are in. Issues to be placed on the agenda should have details of ERC meeting(s ), such as date(s ) that issue was discussed and issue back ground.
MCSCS POH&SC Meeting; the Next MCSCS Provincial Health and Safety meeting is scheduled for December 3rd. Just as found in the above paragraph, any issues not resolved at the Local Health and Safety committee meetings, said issues can be forwarded to the POH&SC. Again issues to be placed on the POH&SC agenda, should be forwarded with details of LH&S meeting, such as date(s ) and issue back ground.
As mentioned, there are many other items/initiatives we are working on as teams/committees for both the community and institutions, your continued support is always the most important part of what makes our division able to move forward. Again thank you for your work and support of your division.
In Sol., Corrections Executives
