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.

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 MSCs 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 employees 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 MSCs. 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.

Mgmt not aware that calls are being moved, the only change is the inclusion of RPOs 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
