Abstract

Union grievance alleging breach of the Collective Agreement between The Treasury Board of Canada and The Canadian Air Traffic Control Association, signed August 30, 1991 for the period January 1, 1991 - December 31, 1993, as amended by the Memoranda of Understanding between The Canadian Air Traffic Control Association and NAV Canada dated December 13, 1996, which the parties agreed is the Collective Agreement that governs this matter, and in particular of Articles 16 and 17, in that the Employer advised that only two controllers would be permitted to be on leave during each shift cycle under the 1998 summer leave program. Subsequently the Employer proceeded to implement the summer leave program on that basis. At the hearing the Union requested an order that Employer immediately cease and desist from the alleged violation and return the summer leave program to what the Union alleged was "its previous allocation of leave for up to three controllers per cycle". The Union also requested damages.
