Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (105-95-00518), Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
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 grievance fails. The Arbitrator is satisfied that the missorts were not incorrectly dealt with. The provision upon which the Union's argument depends does not apply to Saint John's unit.

The Union alleges that the Employer has breached the Agreement by failing to assign sortation values for sorting the "buddy's" parcels for all MMC routes in the city of Saint John. The Employer acknowledged that wrong values had been entered, as a result of clerical error, and undertook to make necessary corrections. It also stated that, as agreed upon with the Union, it had made time corrections to some routes to provide for equalization, though this had not been carried out for all routes.
The grievance succeeds in part. The Employer is directed to comply with its understanding with the …
