On or about September 18, 2017, the Corporation initiated the implementation of a project aimed at taking tasks away from letter carriers and assigning them to routers.
More particularly, on that date, the Corporation removed from all letter carrier routes at the Laval-West facility the tasks of obtaining and preparing, sorting and preparing the mail. This work was assigned to employees performing routers duties newly created by the Corporation.
These tasks were assigned in violation of the collective agreement.
Article 50 and appendices “V” and “CC” of the collective agreement, as well as the LCRMS, provide that letter carrier routes must contain these tasks. The collective agreement also provides that the role of routers must be limited to situations where the inside portion of a given route is excessive or when a route’s daily workload forces the letter carrier to work overtime on a regular basis and she/he requires assistance.
