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.

There are six grievances. The Union alleges that the Employer breached the Collective Agreement by the assignment of duties without following the program of work established locally, changed some duties without meaningful consultation and did not ensure that employees assigned to coding duties were not required to code for entire shifts. The Union also requested that employees who had been improperly assigned be compensated.

The grievance fails. The Employer did not have temporary employees trained to code. This reduced the scheduling options. The lack of consultation was considered insignificant.

The Union's position is that the function of the Spare Boiler Operator is …
