Statement
On April 14, 2010, the employer advised the Union of its intention to change the
requirements for the types of vehicle to be used on Rural and Suburban Letter Carrier
(RSMC) routes as of May 17,2010. Despite the union-management consultation
meetings that have been held, the employer is maintaining its new requirements for
RSMCs. The Corporation's requirements are a violation of the provisions of the
collective agreement, including, but not limited to, clause 32.01.
Corrective Steps Requested
The Union requests a statement to the effect that employer is violating the collective
agreement, as well as an order requiring the Corporation to rescind its decision, and an
order requiring the employer to pay damages and interests to the employees affected
by the Corporation's directive. The Union reserves the right to seek any other additional
corrective action.
