Red Deer Polytechnic: Progress on non-monetary negotiations

Your negotiating team met with the employer on January 29 and 30 for more bargaining meetings. We made progress and signed off on the following:

•    Article 15 – Personnel Files
•    Article 31 – Disciplinary Procedure
•    Article 36 – Resignation
•    Article 50 – Telecommuting 
-This is a new article allowing staff to request to telecommute. The employer must respond to requests in 10 business days. If a telecommuting agreement is terminated, the employer must provide notice.
•    LOU #5 – Funding for Child Care Educator Positions (Renewed)
•    Appendix E – Time tracking sheet for flexible scheduling (Minor changes to wording)

Our next bargaining meetings were scheduled for February, but the employer had to cancel. Bargaining will continue in April.
