RMO ISSUES
J. Coe provided a spreadsheet to the union reflecting monies paid for adjustments to Willowdale Depot 2. The volume count has been altered to September, 2009. The union expressed concerns of POC not being up to date. They also believed that payment was in progress for employees.
In Unionville the data base has been updated, however load times appear inaccurate. Rover routes have been driven to obtain proper values. Over assessment monies may be applicable. A volume count is scheduled for April, 2009. Walk packages of individual routes are available in the station at this point. Updating of routes is required by the end of February, 2009. The union indicated that the MVI was not being performed properly and in accordance with requirements. Route holders apparently are providing volumes, this is contrary to procedure. This will be investigated. It was stated that as of June 2009, no new MVI counts will be conducted, instead, a two week count conducted. Management stated that the route holder is not the person to be conducting the count. This information came to light as a result of an interview conducted by management.
Scar D to be volume counted, apparently was missed earlier and in compliance with the c/a, is required.
The union believed that Scar Depot 11 has not been volume counted and in compliance with the c/a is required. Management believes was conducted in 2005, will be reviewed. Updates, especially for apartments are required, however, may be delayed. MVI, where 120POC are sampled will not continue, in place a two week count will be conducted. If an MVI is underway, then will continue until its completion.
Management advised that at the national level values have been adjusted and input for payment relating to A62 cases. An issue as to whether this has occurred has arisen and is being investigated.
In Scar F walks are to be updated reducing walks with excessive stairs.
In Pickering, walk 55 to be adjusted as presently the walking portion is deemed excessive.
SENIORITY LIST-CURRENT MONTHLY POSTINGS
There is one or two outstanding issues that M. Duquette will forward to J. Best to review. J. Best has made adjustments to some seniority dates, however, not continuous service. These predate the c/a exercise and adjustment should occur.
DEPOT 11 PARKING
The union stated that communication is required to ensure all employees are aware of the additional parking, J. Parent will address.
A keypad is in the process of being obtained for the east door.
MODIFIED DUTIES REPORT LACKING INFORMATION
The union stated that they have not received the “bubble report” for Zone 7; in Zone 5 it reflects no employees on modified duties. This appears in error. Management to review.
WASHROOMS DEPOT 11
Water pressure continues to be an issue with the women’s washroom, addressing with City. During work a bench in the female washroom was removed, another is to be placed.
TEMPORARY EMPLOYEE CALL IN
Last month discussion and response was provided that if an employee is called on the Wednesday and there is no answer, a return call is permissible by Thursday morning by 08:00 hours. If management has a need to call employees for assignments on the Thursday, then an immediate response is required. If there is no answer, management must continue down the list.
UNION REPRESENTTIVE-ARTICLE 56
The union questioned when they are involved in an investigation involving HR, K. Edmunds that they should be provided a report of the conclusion of the investigation. It cannot be a privacy issue as the station and zone manager receives a copy. The report does not have to be the actual one sent to the employee, a summary as management representatives receive is sufficient.
FAILURE TO STAFF TRUE VACANCIES
Managers continue to prepare and will forward to M. Duquette upon completion. There is no issue of time limits.
DIRECTOR LEVEL FORUM ISSUES/PROCESS
The parties exchanged positions of issues and timing to be presented in this forum. The Corporation maintained its position that the process of raising issues with the superintendent and manager levels prior to raising at this forum is intended to streamline the process, however there may be instances when issues are relevant and timely to be discussed, there may be exceptions where warranted. One such issue concern is employee pay-cheques, 24 hours without resolution at the superintendent level, another 24 at the manager level, then involvement of the director.
FOUR HOUR H&S MODULE
Subsequent to meeting management received the following information; six sessions of APP DD Employee H&S training has been scheduled for zones 5, 6 and 7. They are scheduled for February 24, 25, 26, March 4, 5 and 6, 2009. These will be held at 280 Progress Ave. for 8 hours. It is targeted for employees hired after September 30, 2003, however, not temporary employees. Class room sizes will be from 15 to 20 employees. It has been identified as 109 employees to be trained. Existing employees hired prior to September 30, 2003 will receive 4 hours training at a later date.

WEST HILL PV RLC
An issue arose concerning RLC bidding onto non PV routes that perform and receive PV allowances presently. RLC in West Hill receive this allowance and have been permitted to bid to non PV routes.
The parties agreed to discuss and advise as to their position after review. It is managements’ position that the RLC is not a route holder therefore is permitted to bid on non PV routes. It is permissible to have a RLC identified under article 32. This issue will be reviewed in the next monthly consultation. The union is reviewing their position.
COMP TIME DENIALS
Management stated that in instances where vacation and pre-retirement leaves are fully booked employees are requesting and expecting that any compensatory leaves can be allowed. Reliefs for other absences are responsible for coverage of this leave.
