Issue 3 April 2017
What’s new?
On April 4, your Local President, OPSEU staff and legal counsel attended a consultation at the Ontario Labour Relations Board (“OLRB”).
The parties compiled a list of information needed to proceed with the PSLRTA process. The new Hospital has committed to providing that information to the union by May 1.
That information will have to be analyzed and its accuracy confirmed. The union will then prepare a submission for the Labour Board which will set out our proposed bargaining unit configuration in more detail. The response is due on May 18.
The parties will meet again with the OLRB on May 23. These discussions will determine whether we need to proceed to a hearing where the parties will ask the OLRB to decide the bargaining unit configuration. Right now, there is no agreement on what the bargaining units should be. The Hospital and CUPE are proposing a combined service/clerical unit. OPSEU has proposed a separate unit for clerical staff.
The Hospital is proposing three separate units for paramedical employees. OPSEU is proposing one bargaining unit for paramedical employees.
