So we had the Labour Management Meeting.

I want to let you know now the Union argued what was brought forward and it is time we start to build solidarity within the Union and the Local.

1. Medical Department Changes:

The employer reviewed the changes that have already been put into place.
All medical files are in the Fallsview Medical Office and secure.

2. Peak Period VTO:

The employer reviewed the reduction of the available vacation spots.
They talked about how summer is the busiest time of year and how they need more Officers then.
There is a lot of time off that is not used outside the peak times.
Operational needs show us this and as a measure to correct it they reduced vacation spots.
Outside of vacation spots that are already booked the employer has chosen not to be as liberal with time off over the peak months.
- what does this mean-
The will not be approving as many individual days off this year as they did in the past years. So that adds up to less time off for all over the summer months.

4. Grievance and Arbitration Process:

Went over a few hiccups that we are having and met the Human Resources person that will be taking over for the one taking a leave

5 Dates:

The employer asked to be informed in a timely manner when Stewards need to have time off to attend arbitration and meetings.
