National Grievance File

Further to a notice given on October 15, 2010, and despite a union-management meeting held in Ottawa on October 27, 2010, the employer decided to install, as part of Phase II, Web-based security cameras in mail processing facilities, in violation on the collective agreement and applicable legislation. The Union has learned that the employer will begin Phase II on November 15, 2010 in seventeen (17) facilities, including mechanized and non mechanized faculties, as well as in letter carrier depots. The Canada Post Corporation is thus violating the provisions of the collective agreement and applicable legislation.

On April 21, 2010, the employer issued a policy/directive on the validation period for Canada Post Corporation vehicle operator permits (VOPs). The effect of the employer’s policy/directive is to amend the collective agreement in its application. The employer is thus violating the provisions of the collective agreement.
