Previous Business

 

1)      Unionville Article 50 – Walk 12

                  Mgmt – advised the union that the package is still with Delivery Services

                                                                                                                 

 

2)      Pay Issues

                  The parties agreed to table this to a separate meeting  to be held on March                                18, 04 at Gateway facility. There was considerable dialogue between the                                 parties with respect to individual problems as well roles and process.

                 

3)      Member in good standing – Hiring/ promoted

                   Mgmt –  will escalate to Manager of LR for Regional discussion

                                                                             

4)      Overtime on Biweekly Cheques

                  Mgmt – Danny Kane will raise with national  to see if it is possible                                                           to adjust pay format.

 

5)      Posting of  LTA in Group 1 ( 39.07) New language

                    Mgmt – this will take place as per C/A by installation

                    Union – we understand that our concern is that if an error is made in the                                                   application and we are not involved form the start the                                                              corporation is at risk of liabilities for employees affected. The                                                   Union is asking for either a bid format or some paper trail that                                                can  be shared at the time of the LTA coverage

                    Mgmt – Employee Admin. will look at a process and respond .

 

 

 

6)      Loss of  Benefits Retroactively

Mgmt – as indicated at previous meeting, with the implementation of                    release  3, Time and Leave, the stations will now more aware of                      employees credits. Whereas in the past the system did not match                  an entry with credits such as sick leave time and leave prompts                          advises when credits are exhausted. This in turn would prompt                 the supervisor to complete a TSOS, based on duration of                               absence, for Employee Relations., which in turn prompts                                      benefits to notify employee.  

 

7)      Malvern – MLC Duties

Union – concern that the MLC finish time goes beyond the station                                   closing time, issue with the SLB draw as stn closed.

 Mgmt -  it is our understanding that MLC must return to the station for                  lunch , and  as such the SLB draw is offloaded and dispatched.

Union – also raises the issue with the availability of lockers for personal                             items, no access after completion of duties.

 Mgmt – will respond                           

 

 

  New Business

 

1)       Ajax Bar Charts

Union  - advised that they are not receiving the bar charts from Ajax.

 Mgmt -  this will be provided, in fact the stn is working on them                                       currently. Had a problem with the program which was recently                    fixed

Union -  the data will be required to be vetted with the union rep

Mgmt -  agree.

Union -  also have an issue with West Beaver Creek, there is no trained               union rep to vet the data.

Mgmt – advised the union that adhoc training was provided to an                                     employee and this employee is vetting data with the supervisor.

  

2)      Bar chart review for restructured stns

Union – we are requesting the trend sheets , tombstone data for the past                           twelve months for  Malvern, West Hill, Scarborough D, F and                       Willowdale B. This is required  for  MSC’s as well. Due to the                           implementation of MLC need to merge data for purposes of                  relief.

Mgmt – will review requirements  and respond.

 

 

 

 

 

3)      Severance Pay

Mgmt – advised the Union that this issue is being addressed nationally, the          corporation is reissuing letters to employees with surnames                      beginning with A- C. It seems that errors in some of the                                       calculations for some employees were made. A revised                                     package is being sent.

Union – realizing that it being addressed nationally we have a concern                  that the employer is using scheduled hours as opposed to worked               hours. The concern is in fact that some employee’s schedules                        were in fact different from what was on record. In the past an                 employee was not “tied” to a position number on HRIS where a                   bid took place and the resultant movement was within the stn.

Mgmt – the letters have identified contact information should an employee                         have a concern with their information.

Union – still have concern with accuracy of the information being used.

 

 

4)      MSC Duties Willowdale Depot 3

Union – we have been advised  that Retail Ops is closing the outlet                      utilized for the box customers from the former Willowdale                Stn A.  We learned that in fact a CPC contractor was shuttling                           mail between  Will Depot 3 and the outlet, this work belongs to                         CUPW. Further it is our understanding that the contractor                        delivered to some business ‘ as a direct, again that work belongs                 to CUPW – MSC’s.

 Mgmt – will have to investigate with the Retail Ops group and respond.

 Union – be advised that a grievance may be submitted for contracting out                        of work. We were advised that Delivery Services has been asked                  to assign this work to CUPW now.

  Mgmt – again need to investigate.                             

 

 

5)      Scarborough Depot 11 – Alarm

Union – raised a concern that on Tuesday the burglar alarm went off                    and no supervisor on duty to assist. Knowing that the supervisor                  responsible was on training attempted to contact the back up from                          Unionville, - not available. When the control centre was called no                       response from any management representative until John Martin                           reported. The alarm was going from  approx 01:00 to 05:00 hrs.

              ADT responded but was unable to turn it off. Concern that no

              one was called by the control centre to disconnect or repair.

Mgmt – will follow up with control centre and respond to the issue.

                                                                                                           

 

 

 

 

6)      Thornhill Relief

Mgmt – with the signing of the new agreement relating to the deletion of

              components    wish to combine the relief staff at West Beaver               Creek, currently picking by old component.

Union – we have no concerns in doing that.

 

Retail

 

 

Y.D.C.

 

1)      MSC tour value changes

 Union – concern that MSC tours are being changed without observers, the          changes are movement of calls between tours and as such                            represents a restructure not updates.

 Mgmt – not aware that calls are being moved, the only change is the                    inclusion of RPO’s from 1 Yonge St being added.

Union –  majority of drivers received new tour sheets in Janaury, if in                    fact these represent movement of calls between rtes suggest that                     tours be returned to original.

Mgmt – will investigate and respond
