Thiss post is just a quick update with respect to what is going on from the unions end on what is being done about the planned implimentation of the New Attendacne Policy. 

Tiime line of roll out as identified by the union:

1. The Unit Chair Person started to recieve reports via text and email that a new attendance policy was being implimented. This info was provided via NC LInked. 

2. The union was provided an LMC agenda, the employer had place the Attnedance policy as an agenda item. 

3. The  union and the employer met on Dec 3rd, to discuss among other items the proposed attendance policy. Specific questions that were asked by the union were not conclusively answered i.e bereavement, occurances and acceptable documenation. The employer was not forth oming with those answers. 

4. The Unit Bargaining Team met with the national rep and the local Presedent on Dec 17th 2014. We discussed the contents of the New attendane policy at length. 

5. The union informed the employer that it some concerns with the new policy up date. 

6. The union and the employer have agreed to meet on Dec. 30th to discuss the concerns and hopefully get a resolution on the outstanding items.
