New Business:
- There was an Ecomm last week regarding
the Corporation looking at reducing the number of Superintendents and
Supervisors within the company. This will be dealt with by National
Consultation. As a result of the changes in the New Collective Agreement
in particular with regards to the JEP. The AP3's and AP4 's in
Operational Support were changed to OP1's. These positions can no longer
be filled by competitions they must be filled from a Transfer List.
There was no Transfer List in existence.
- Consultation was held to create Zones,
Vancouver C&D, VMPP, VPDC & transportation and Mail Operation Support.
So in the future if a member would like to work in anyone of those areas
they will need to put a transfer in. When a position becomes vacant
there will be a bid within the Zone and the resulting vacancy if any
will be filled by going to the Transfer List.
Move to adjourn meeting, Meeting adjourned.
