The Association filed grievances on behalf of several engineers regarding eligibility for travel credits under Article 13 of the collective agreement.
The Employer argued that travel was an inherent part of the engineers' positions, making them ineligible for the credits.
The Grievance Settlement Board found that travel was not an inherent part of the work for most of the grievors, as they were merely transporting themselves to and from work sites without discharging actual job responsibilities during the travel.
The grievances were allowed, with specific determinations made for each grievor based on whether they performed actual work while travelling.
