National Grievance File

In implementing Appendix “MM” and the new rules for the calculation of seniority, Canada Post assigned a random number to employees who have the same continuous service date in order to determine their ranking on the seniority list. By doing so, the Corporation is changing the ranking based on the employee with the lowest random number. The implementation of this rule or policy, unilaterally introduced by Canada Post, has, amongst other things, caused some employees who had a higher ranking on the seniority list relative to others who became regular employees at a later date, to have a lower ranking than some other employees with the same continuous service date. In addition to being inequitable and unfair, this rule or policy violates the provisions of the collective agreement, related agreements and practice between the parties and causes prejudice to employees whose ranking on the seniority list went down one or more rungs following its implementation.
