1734-01-M Ministry of the Attorney General, Applicant v. Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario (AMAPCEO), Responding Party.
BEFORE: Brian McLean, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 1, 2001
1. The Board’s decision in this matter dated October 29, 2001 which was released to the parties by fax on October 31, 2001 did not quote Article 8.2 in full. Therefore, Article 8.2 reads as follows:
The Employer is entitled to require essential/emergency services workers to perform more than 36 1/4 hours in a week in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement in order to provide essential work.
The Association is entitled to refer a dispute to the Board if it asserts that the Employer is abusing this right to require more hours than 36 ¼ per week, such that the agreed upon levels of service are being undermined.
On such an application, the Board will have the authority and ability to provide appropriate remedial relief, if any, including the amendment of any provisions of the essential services agreements, or changing the levels of service previously agreed to. Indeed, abuse in this respect may lead to the withdrawal of this right from certain individuals or offices.
“Brian McLean”
