Local presidents to meet in Ottawa
Local presidents will come to Ottawa on May
21 to discuss the ongoing labour relations problems in the Corrections
Division.
The meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the OPSEU
Ottawa Resource Centre at 1793B Kilborn Ave. The purpose of the meeting is
to bring local presidents up to date on what has been happening across the
division with respect to CTO and other issues, reports from the MERCs and
legal counsel, as well as a strategy session on next steps.
For more information, please contact your
respective Corrections or Children and Youth Services MERC Teams.
CT-NO? Or CT-Depends?
Since the Ministry decided to unilaterally
back out of long-standing mutual agreement in the OPS contract, CTO has
become “CT-NO” for Corrections Division members.
However, rumour has it that managers
in our adult and youth facilities are still able to earn and use
compensating time off for working overtime.
Next time you see a manager, ask if he or
she can still earn CTO. If yes, we’re sure the Minister will have a good
reason for the elitist inequity.
