Hello All, July 13th,2023
We wanted to provide an update on the consultations Vancouver local and the employer had on June 21st, June 28th and on July 6th. Vancouver local was represented by your 2nd VP Raylene Marshall, VP 3 Bryan Schuck, President Anju Parmar along with PPC Executive Shop Stewards Zenaida Garcia, Helen De Guzman and Yogesh Sharma.
On July 6, 2023 Vancouver local had a final consult regarding the Canada Posts proposed mini bid for PPC. In our first consult Canada Post had proposed drastic staffing cuts in shift 2 due to “changes in the business mode”. FROM THE INITIAL CONSULT CUPW OBJECTED AND DISAGREED WITH ANY NEGATIVE CHANGES TO THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS ON SHIFT 2. After having many discussions with the employer, it was very clear that the Employer was not willing to keep the schedule status quo, Vancouver Local gave multiple suggestions to find a way to reduce the impact on our members. The employer came back with 3 different proposals and the one they are using we felt minimized the impact on our members, Including casuals. We want to ensure members that VANCOUVER LOCAL ALWAYS OBJECTED TO ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT ROSTER. We believe in a work\life balance and want our members to have a stable schedule to rely on. We never want members moving mid-year, unless it is done by our members on volition. Union will always fight for our work in group1 to be pushed to day shift in group 1. We will always demand that the employer adhere to the Collective Agreement and move as much work as possible to day shift. If more positions are needed in any shift we ask the employer to create positions, instead of moving them.
25 positions will be displaced from VEO and It is very Important for those who will be DISPLACED to bid in monthly bid to OBTAIN the permanent position.
