The Union and Employer participated in a conference call regarding a union grievance over the inclusion of certain positions in the bargaining unit.
The Vice-Chair issued an interim ruling directing the Employer to immediately apply the full terms and conditions of the collective agreement to the agreed-upon positions.
The ruling addressed the application of the benefit plan, commencement of dues deductions, calculation of seniority dates excluding student service, maintenance of current pay rates (with an adjustment for a seasonal position receiving a benefit allowance), and transfer of incumbents to the OPSEU Pension Trust.
The issue of back dues was deferred to the hearing on the merits.
