Your negotiating team met with the employer on March 12 which resulted in good discussions on the outstanding non-monetary issues, such as:
- discipline timelines and dismissal (to ensure our members receive due process in a timely manner)
- workload classification (the system the employer uses and how it may affect you)
- sicks leave notes (and the added pressure this puts on our health care system)
- medical appointments
- temporary positions (and moving from position to position)
We were also able to sign off on Article 11 – Grievance Procedure that clarified the existing language.
Stay tuned for our next bargaining meeting dates with the employer. You will receive an email from your Local Chair with the details.
Wear red!
There’s lots of ways to stay involved and show solidarity. Wear red on bargaining meeting dates to show the employer we’re engaged and unified. Snap a selfie of you and your coworkers in red and send it to photos@aupe.org in order to share on AUPE’s social media.
