Greetings Presidents and Division,
CTO
After the union stated its case and entered items into evidence on the first day of the CTO GSB hearing dates, the employer requested that the Vice Chair grant them time to review and investigate the information given to them as well as the local agreements that were in place prior to the MGS letter. This was granted, even though there was a second stage hearing where the unions rationalization for said CTO policy grievance was given, it appears that the labour relations/human resource folks that attend these second stage meetings and are paid for by the ministry to do fact finding, are not sharing second stage information with management’s council and/or management council is not looking at what is being provided to them.???
The next CTO grievance dates are to be announced, but it appears it will not be until 2010 now. During this time we also will be taking the opportunity to look for more information and evidence.
ASMPP
Local management across the province has been informing our members that the ASMPP was a negotiated agreement. This is NOT factual, that the union was NOT involved in the development of this program…the only thing we agreed to was the monitoring of managements program and its statistics the union has to be involved in the review so that we can verify the figures, as compensation is tied to those numbers. We have asked that management ensure that this misinformation stop being told to our members, they have stated that they would relay this to their management team.
