Old Business

 

1)      Unionville  Walk 12 – Article 50

Union – We have received the results and as expected based on a June                            count the values are low. Request that we revisit this route in the                            fall. Also the parcels may impact

Mgmt -  We will review the parcel aspect should there be an issue  Closed

 

2)      Pay Issues

Union – raised concern with an employee who has been waiting for a                   resolution to a WSIB claim, it seems that it is circling between                           the Corporation and  WSIB. Larry Anastasi is aware of the                   employee and the problems.

Mgmt – D. Kane will follow –up.

              Raised a concern that the process that was agreed to with respect                     to pay issues is not being followed and as such manager’s are not                  aware on going situations within their Zones.

Employees who find a concern with pay upon receiving their     statement are to discuss the concern with their supervisor. The      supervisor is to investigate and respond within forty-eight (48)     hours. If the supervisor does not provide a explanation the          employee should contact the Superintendent, allowing forty        eight  (48) hours to respond. If not resolved matter to escalated to  the Zone Manager. If the issue is not resolved the issue is to be brought to the attention of  the Director.  In the event that a correction is required and it is made by 20::00 hrs on the Monday following the pay date, it  will appear on the next pay statement.  Also advised the Union that a number of issues can affect pay   such as schedule changes entered and therefore when employee’s see a problem it may not be related to the recording of hours and      as such may require extensive investigation.

 

 

3)      Bar Charts- Not being received

Union – indicated that still not receiving all the bar charts on                                a regular basis (supplied a spreadsheet). Also request that we                      be provided the printout of the monthly notes. This will assist in                           reviewing the “ Abs, not Calculated”.

Mgmt – will review and respond, if the data is being vetted at the station                          level there should no need to provide notes.

Union – reminded those present that the annual review is to take place                 between Sept.15 and Oct 15. We must have all the bar charts by                Sept 14, 04.                                                                    

 

4)      Night Shift Supervisor _- 280 Progress Ave

 Mgmt – this position is staffed

 Union – it is our understanding that PO 4’s are performing APOC duties                          in that they directing other staff.

 Mgmt – will follow up                                                   

 

5)      Malvern – Unisex Locker Room

 Union – as per the last minutes the door was to be replaced, was this                   completed.

  Mgmt – will follow up                                         

    

6)      Lunch on route and returning to put up mail for next day

  Mgmt – employees cannot be prohibited from returning to the                              facility, as they may have items in a locker etc. however they                        will not be allowed to process mail that has been determined to                   be the next day’s work. However should emergency overtime be                       available and in the application of the appropriate list the ee is                    offered there is no violation of other employee rights.

 Union - disagree, if an ee choose to take their flexible meal period on rte                          then they should be prohibited from returning to the facility and                   should be excluded from emergency overtime. A grievance has                    been filed in that regard.

   

7)      Parcel Model Implementation Delayed

  Mgmt – implementation date is now scheduled for Sept 27, 04

  Union – raised concerns that the vacancies at YDC are not being staffed                          as well as misinformation is being cascaded to MSC’s as to                          status once the project is implemented.

   Mgmt – will follow up                                                      

 

 

8)      Dispute Resolution Training

Union – status was to be provided.

Mgmt – will have to carry-over to next meeting due to the unavailability                           of Mr. Gilbert.

 

9)      Article 54 – Impact at Hub and Stn level at implementation of Model

                 Union – there are some outstanding 54 issues at YDC, yet no                                                      representative at monthly meetings.

Mgmt - unaware that the Union was scheduling YDC employees at that                                                  meeting, will follow up P. Brennan.

Union – suggest that those needing accommodation be identified prior to                          implementation as it may impact on delivery ops as well.

 

10)    Stouffville – Repairs

 Union – concern that repairs in this facility are taking to long to be                                    actioned.

New Business

 

1)      Letter Carrier on street training

 Union  - concern that employees are not being trained in all aspects of                 letter carrier duties, such as the MLC function or motorized                        routes. Request that the Union be involved in the selection of

               the trainers.

Mgmt-    this is a volunteer program and is run through the training dept.                           we recognise that due the various duties required by letter                            carriers  it is difficult to ensure on street training for each aspect,                     however training does try to match the needs of type of coverage           required, in the case of temporary employees, in stations to train                   new hires in those stns they will most likely work. Other duties                           are covered in the theory training provided.

3)      Night Workers leave

  Union – raised a concern that employees are being denied leave as                      requested, citing operational requirements.

   Mgmt – a schedule is in place in the Zone, the bidding information is                   sent to all stn following each qualifying period. There should                      be no requests at the stn level. All night workers leave is                                         approved at the Zone level.

Union – advised mgmt that the ee who was unable to find his                               payment has done so, however the bank will not deposit it                     the ee’s name is not on the cheque.

     Mgmt - this was an issue, however it was determined that the names                              were on the cheques, just not in the usual location.
