The student's total annual work hours could be reduced under the Union's interpretation. The Employer does not include student employees as 'part-time' in the interpretation of the collective agreement.

The Union grieves the Employer's failure to convert Part-Time Route 23 to a full time route, and staff the new route in accordance with the Agreement. The Union seeks an order that the Employer convert the route and grant full redress to all employees affected. The Employer takes the position that it is only required to carry out minor restructuring to bring Route 23 into conformity with limits on part-time routes. The Employer acknowledges that this should have been done seven months ago.

Re Ben's Ltd And Bct, Local 445, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Grievor, as the Union's Shop Steward, is acting for employees in the Employer's thrift stores. The grievance was initiated when the hours of a part-time employee were reduced. The Union asserted that the Employer was manipulating hours to avoid making employees full-time. The Employer maintained that there is nothing in the Collective Agreement which requires the creation of full time jobs where it could, or otherwise prevent the assignment of work to minimize the number of full-time positions.

The grievance fails. Part-time employees were excluded from the Collective Agreement.
